About this ebook
The 5th Edition of Prestressed Concrete by R.F. Warner, Stephen Foster, Andrew Kilpatrick, and Rebecca Gravina is a definitive textbook aligned with the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures (AS 3600:2018, including Amendment 2 published in 2021). It covers foundational principles, structural behavior, and comprehensive engineering design methods. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Core Conceptual Foundations
  • Material Properties: Analysis of concrete, high-strength prestressing steel, and their combined structural behavior.
  • Prestressing Methods: Detailed mechanics of both pre-tensioning and post-tensioning systems.
  • Prestress Losses: Calculations for initial impacts (elastic shortening, friction, anchorage slip) and time-dependent effects like concrete creep, shrinkage, and steel relaxation. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Structural Analysis & Design
  • Flexural Performance: Comprehensive coverage of beam behavior both before and after cracking. [1]
  • Ultimate Strength Design: Application of modified rectangular stress-block parameters and updated ultimate strength safety coefficients. [1, 2]
  • Shear and Torsion: Provisions for designing cross-sections to resist complex shear forces and torsional moments. [1, 2]
  • Strut-and-Tie Modelling: Heavily emphasized analytical workflows for handling non-linear stress regions, localized shear, and anchorage zones. [1, 2, 3]
Application to Structural Systems
  • Anchorage Zones: Design rules for managing the massive concentrated forces at the end of post-tensioned members.
  • Beams & Slabs: Step-by-step methodologies for statically determinate beams, continuous beams, and two-way slab systems.
  • Simplified Serviceability: Streamlined structural equilibrium approaches to address long-term deflections without requiring overly complex visco-elastic math. [1, 2, 3]
