"This fourth edition of Prestressed Concrete - A Fundamental Approach reflects the very latest ACI 318-02 Code, International Building Code IBC 2000-2003, and AASHTO 2002. It puts at the disposal of the user the author's many years of professional and academic know-how in design, construction, and forensic engineering." "This book is different from most because its major topics of material behavior, prestress losses, flexure, shear, torsion, and deflection-camber are sequentially self-contained and can be covered in one semester at the senior and the graduate levels. It uniquely follows procedures given in over 20 flowcharts and 400 illustrations that simplify the understanding and application of the subject in design, using both the customary US and the SI units in the examples."--BOOK JACKET.
