Book Precast Concrete Structures

Download or read book Precast Concrete Structures written by Kim S. Elliott and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 823 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of Precast Concrete Structures introduces the conceptual design ideas for the prefabrication of concrete structures and presents a number of worked examples that translate designs from BS 8110 to Eurocode EC2, before going into the detail of the design, manufacture, and construction of precast concrete multi-storey buildings. Detailed structural analysis of precast concrete and its use is provided and some details are presented of recent precast skeletal frames of up to forty storeys. The theory is supported by numerous worked examples to Eurocodes and European Product Standards for precast reinforced and prestressed concrete elements, composite construction, joints and connections and frame stability, together with extensive specifications for precast concrete structures. The book is extensively illustrated with over 500 photographs and line drawings.

Book Structural Connections for Precast Concrete Buildings

Download or read book Structural Connections for Precast Concrete Buildings written by fib Fédération internationale du béton and published by fib Fédération internationale du béton. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connections are among the most essential parts in precast structures. Their performance relates to the structural limit states, as well as to manufacture of the precast elements and erection and maintenance of the structure itself. Proper design of connections is one major key to a successful prefabrication. The principal aim of fib Bulletin 43 is to encourage good practice in the design of structural connections in precast concrete structures. This is achieved through a good understanding of structural connections as parts of the overall structural system and of basic force transferring mechanisms. The bulletin consists of two parts; the first part concerns general considerations and philosophy in the design of structural connections, and the second part deals with basic force transferring mechanisms within structural connections. The main focus is on the design of structural connections with regard to their structural function in ordinary design situations in the serviceability and ultimate limit states, and in accidental/abnormal design situations, like fire, lack of fit and impact/accidental loads. Other aspects considered include production, handling and site erection of elements, building physics, durability and maintenance. Bulletin 43 applies to structural connections for precast concrete buildings, although the information on basic force transfer mechanisms can also be applicable to other types of prefabricated structures.

Book Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2  Second Edition

Download or read book Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2 Second Edition written by Raymond Ian Gilbert and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of structures in general, and prestressed concrete structures in particular, requires considerably more information than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This textbook presents a detailed description and explanation of the behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures both at service loads and at ultimate loads and, in doing so, provide a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to structural design. Much of the text is based on first principles and relies only on the principles of mechanics and the properties of concrete and steel, with numerous worked examples. However, where the design requirements are code specific, this book refers to the provisions of Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures and, where possible, the notation is the same as in Eurocode 2. A parallel volume is written to the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures AS3600-2009. The text runs from an introduction to the fundamentals to in-depth treatments of more advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures. It suits senior undergraduate and graduate students and also practising engineers who want comprehensive introduction to the design of prestressed concrete structures. It retains the clear and concise explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition, but the content has been extensively re-organised and considerably expanded and updated. New chapters cover design procedures, actions and loads; prestressing systems and construction requirements; connections and detailing; and design concepts for prestressed concrete bridges. The topic of serviceability is developed extensively throughout. All the authors have been researching and teaching the behaviour and design of prestressed concrete structures for over thirty-five years and the proposed new edition of the book reflects this wealth of experience. The work has also gained much from Professor Gilbert active and long-time involvement in the development of standards for concrete buildings and concrete bridges.

Book Prestressed Concrete

Download or read book Prestressed Concrete written by Edward G. Nawy and published by Pearson. This book was released on 2010 with total page 990 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completely revised to reflect the new ACI 318-08 Building Code and International Building Code, IBC 2009, this popular book offers a unique approach to examining the design of prestressed concrete members in a logical, step-by-step trial and adjustment procedure. Integrates handy flow charts to help readers better understand the steps needed for design and analysis. Includes a revised chapter containing the latest ACI and AASHTO Provisions on the design of post-tensioned beam end anchorage blocks using the strut-and-tie approach in conformity with ACI 318-08 Code. Offers a new complete section with two extensive design examples using the strut-and-tie approach for the design of corbels and deep beams. Features an addition to the elastic method of design, with comprehensive design examples on LRFD and Standard AASHTO designs of bridge deck members for flexure, shear and torsion, conforming to the latest AASHTO specifications. Includes a revised chapter on slender columns, including a simplified load-contour biaxial bending method which is easier to apply in desiign, using moments rather than loads in the reciprocal approach. A useful construction reference for engineers.

Book Precast  Prestressed Concrete Bent Caps

Download or read book Precast Prestressed Concrete Bent Caps written by Anna C. Birely and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precast prestressed concrete bent caps may provide significant benefits by enabling accelerated construction of bridge substructures and improve longevity by reducing the propensity for cracking. The Texas Department of Transportation enables the use of precast reinforced concrete (RC) bent caps through standard connection details that allow contractors the option of cast-in-place or precast caps. A largely unrealized benefit of precast caps is the use of prestressing to enable additional fabrication options and to reduce or eliminate cracking. To enable widespread use, the design and behavior of pretensioned bent caps is explored through a comprehensive study consisting of a literature review, a design study, experimental tests, and with a discussion of the results. Design for flexure is based upon the concept of zero tensile stresses under dead loads, thereby ensuring any cracks close upon removal of live loads. A modified pocket connection is designed to improve constructability and minimize the potential negative effects of prestressing at the reduced cross-section. Full-scale bent caps were tested under indeterminate loads representative of those in multicolumn bents. An RC specimen was designed, constructed, and tested to serve as a performance baseline. Pretensioned caps investigate the spacing of shear spacing, use of voids, and void detailing. Pretensioned caps exhibit significantly reduced flexure cracking, with the ability to fully close upon removal of live load. Bent caps with voids were susceptible to minor shear cracking under design loads, with minimal impact of void detailing. Pocket connections provided adequate performance under design loads. The experimental findings validate the design and construction concepts, which may be useful in developing design and construction recommendations.
