Post-Tensioned Buildings: Design and Construction - RyanRS - 03-21-2016

Must have reference book for engineers, students, contractors, building officials, and researchers. Provides an in-depth review of concepts and procedures of practical and modern post-tensioning design and construction. Book comes in US and International editions.

Book on Post-Tensioned Design and Construction by Dr. Bijan Aalami The book builds on over three decades of author's observation and design of post-tensioning projects in more than 35 countries worldwide. Having met and discussed with thousands of practitioners whose work encompasses the design or construction of post-tensioned projects, the author presents his observations and experience in a clear and concise format, highlighting the concepts and procedures that lead to good practice and economical designs. The book is easy to read and is accompanied by many schematics and photographs of actual post-tensioning installations.

Topics that are covered in-depth and taken to the point of practical application include:
Concepts and procedures of practical and modern post-tensioning design with an emphasis on achieving "safe" and "serviceable" outcomes
Unbonded and bonded (grouted) systems - construction technology, design procedures, and discussion of comparative features
Post-tensioned floor design with step-by-step calculation
Post-tensioned beam design with step-by-step calculation
Software and design tools with flow charts and examples
Calculation of stress losses, deflections, cracking and crack width
Application of finite element to design
Application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to post-tensioning
