A comprehensive guide for students and practicing engineers on the fundamental mechanics and design of prestressed structures. The text introduces the history and basic principles of prestressing, explaining how internal compressive forces are used to counteract tensile stresses caused by external loads. It covers essential topics such as material properties, limit state design, and the analysis of both pretensioned and post-tensioned systems. Detailed chapters address structural challenges like
