The design of structures in general, and prestressed concrete structures in particular, requires considerably more information than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This textbook presents a detai…

Provides an easy-to-understand, integrated and comprehensive treatment of the behaviour, analysis and design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures for undergraduate civil engineers and professionals.
My adventures with flexible structures began on the IIT campus with an extracurricular undergraduate project to design an “Open House Exhibit” for the Civil Engineering Department. I chose to display a reinforced concrete diving board together with a prestressed concrete diving …
The actual shear capacity of existing concrete structures is often unable to meet current standard requirements. This may be attributable to increased load requirements, inadequate shear provisions in the original design or increased demand in shear capacity owing to flexural st…
