Precast reinforced and prestressed concrete frames provide ahigh strength, stable, durable and robust solution for anymulti-storey structure, and are widely regarded as a high quality,economic and architecturally versatile technology for theconstruction of multi-storey buildings. The resulting buildingssatisfy a wide range of commercial and industrial needs. Precastconcrete buildings behave in a different way to those where theconcrete is cast in-situ, with the components subject to differentforces and movements. These factors are explored in detail in thesecond edition of Multi-Storey Precast Concrete FramedStructures, providing a detailed understanding of theprocedures involved in precast structural design. This new editionhas been fully updated to reflect recent developments, and includesmany structural calculations based on EUROCODE standards. These areshown in parallel with similar calculations based on BritishStandards to ensure the designer is fully aware of the differencesrequired in designing to EUROCODE standards.
Civil and structural engineers as well as final year undergraduateand postgraduate students of civil and structural engineering willall find this book to be thorough overview of this importantconstruction technology.
