HURST, (MSc, DIC, MICE, MI Struct.E ) PUBLISHERS : E & FN SPON The purpose of this book is to explain the fundamental principles of design for prestressed concrete structures, and it is intended for both students and practising engineers. Although the emphasis is on design—the problem of providing a structure to fulfil a particular purpose—this can only be achieved if the designer has a sound understanding of the behaviour of prestressed concrete structures. This behaviour is described in some detail, with references to specialist literature for further information where necessary. Guidance on the design of structures must inevitably be related to a code of practice and the one followed here is Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures, Part 1 General rules and rules for buildings, DD ENV 1992–1–1:1992 (referred to below as EC2) which will supersede B
