The remarkable expansion and widespread adoption of post-tensioning techniques in recent years have emerged as one of the most significant advancements in the field of building construction. This growth is driven by an ever-increasing demand for the construction of durable and secure structures. Unlike conventional construction methods, post-tensioning relies on innovative design methodologies that are often not covered in traditional engineering courses.

With a wealth of over 40 years of extensive study, teaching, and practical experience in the application of post-tensioning worldwide, the author has authored this book specifically for students, practicing engineers, contractors, and academics. While the book provides a comprehensive and straightforward explanation of post-tensioning fundamentals and concepts, it also delves into detailed design considerations through real-world examples.

The book encompasses a range of topics, including the European and American building codes for post-tensioning design. These codes are thoroughly illustrated through the book's examples, such as column-supported floors and beam frames. The author emphasizes and highlights the critical importance of minimizing specific to post-tensioned members and construction detailing to ensure serviceable and safe performance.

By presenting the material in a clear and concise manner, this book serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to gain a deeper understanding of post-tensioning technology. Whether you are a student embarking on a career in engineering or a professional seeking to enhance your knowledge and expertise in this field, this book will provide you with the necessary tools and insights to succeed.
