The growth is propelled by a burgeoning demand for construction of serviceable and safe buildings. Unlike traditional construction, post-tensioning is based on new design methodology often not covered in traditional engineering courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith more than 40 years of experience of study, teaching and work on post-tensioning applications around the world, the author has written this book for students as well as practicing engineers, contractors and academics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the book covers the basics and concepts of post-tensioning in simple and clear language, it also focuses on the application and detailed design through real world examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics of the book include the European and the American building Codes for post-tensioning design. The codes are detailed in the book’s examples such as column-supported floors and beam frames. The book explains and highlights the importance of shortening specific to post-tensioned members and construction detailing for serviceable and safe performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45600465780974,"sku":"9781032307077","price":176.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/post-tensioning-in-building-construction-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
