About Book:

     During the last five years, the fourth  edition of prestressed concrete was reprinted fifteen times, indicating the ever increasing popularity of the book among the engineering students, teachers and practising structural engineers’ and as a useful reference guide for research workers. The fourth  edition has served its purpose by clearly establishing itself as the leading tile on the subject of Prestressed concrete among the various books presently available in the Indian market.

    The fifth edition of this popular little incorporates the latest developments in the field of High-performance and Nano Concrete and their applications in prestressed Concrete.  Two new chapters on above topics are included in this revised edition covering the latest developments in a comprehensive manner along with the practical applications of these new materials in the structural concrete construction industry. Indian standard code dealing with prestressed concrete (IS:1343) under revision for the last two decades has yet to formulate standards to cover the use of high performance and nano concrete in prestressed concrete structures.
