Title overview

Prestressed Concrete (Pearson Original Edition) is available as a VitalSource eBook, providing flexible digital access to core civil and structural engineering content.

This edition supports the development of a strong understanding of prestressed concrete behaviour, analysis, and design, aligned with the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures (AS 3600), including recent updates to design procedures and safety considerations.

Covering key areas such as material properties, flexural behaviour, shear and torsion design, prestress losses, and structural systems, the content is structured to guide learners from fundamental concepts through to applied engineering design.

With the VitalSource eBook, students can:

  • Access the full textbook instantly in a digital format
  • Search for key concepts, equations, and technical topics
  • Highlight, annotate, and organise notes for study and revision
  • Read across devices for flexible, on-the-go learning
