Prestressed concrete construction according to EC 2
Theory, practice, calculation examples according to Eurocode 2

(Please note: This publication is only available in German.)

Eurocode 2 contains the specifications for the design, calculation and dimensioning of prestressed concrete structures in building construction and civil engineering. DIN EN 1992-1-1 focuses on the general design rules and regulations for building construction. The standard forms the basis for this book, in which the relationship between the theory of prestressed concrete construction and the design approach is clearly illustrated.

Students and practitioners will find this book a valuable learning and working aid. Basic knowledge is conveyed here as well as details explained in practical examples. The updated 4th edition has been adapted to the current state of technology and standardization.

You can expect the following from “Prestressed concrete construction according to EC 2”:

• theoretical knowledge presented in an understandable way
• numerous examples to practise with
• two full complex examples
• clear graphics and tables

The book is ideal for reference, learning and consolidation.
 

Detailed transfer of knowledge and complex practical examples

Prestressed concrete construction is the state of the art in structural engineering and especially in bridge construction. Around ninety per cent of all new bridge constructions in Germany are made with prestressed structures — and have been for decades. DIN EN 1992-1-1 and DIN 1045-1 provide a useful framework for practical work and an important basis for students. However, this book does not require in-depth knowledge of reinforced concrete; a solid foundation is all you need to follow the explanations on prestressed concrete. This 4th edition of “Prestressed concrete construction” contains some changes, including to the examples included.

“Prestressed concrete construction” contains:

• Basic knowledge of prestressed concrete construction
  The publication provides a comprehensive overview of the technology, its components, requirements and individual processes. The basic knowledge imparted in this book also includes an insight into building materials science.
   
• Detailed explanation of the technology
  Clearly structured in chapters, “Prestressed concrete construction” provides a thorough introduction to the subject: from tendon guidance and the inspection record document to potential damage and design principles. Ultimate limit state verifications are also explained.
   
• Complex examples
  Examples from experts in the field provide an excellent basis for learning: The book covers two complex practical examples on almost one hundred pages.

The book is rounded off with a comprehensive index of references, designations, annexes and keywords.
