This new edition of one of the classic works in the field maintains the same practical, construction oriented approach as the original. It details the basic techniques, materials, systems and technology of pre-stressing, then moved to specific applications to the construction of buildings, bridges, poles, piles, pipes, machinery, roads, railroads, airfield, tanks, and more. All new chapters cover offshore structures and floating structures, and there is totally new information on older prestressed structures covering cracking and corrosion, maintenance and repair, demolition and safety. This new edition includes nearly 200 photographs of actual field application.
