The fifth edition of this pioneer text has been thoroughly revised to meet the requirements of undergraduate and postgraduate students of Civil Structural and Highway Engineering streams and practicing structural engineers. The book incorporates the integrated limit state concepts in the design of various types of Prestressed concrete structures conforming to the latest BIS & IRC codes. Design concepts, construction and rehabilitation techniques are well illustrated through numerous worked out examples, figures and case histories of actual structures.
