Published in March 2025, this code update introduces changes that directly impact modern design. For instance, it restructures how resistance factors for anchors are handled and introduces new modification factors. A professional today must design with these new standards in mind. As one of the key architects of the ACI 318 code, Nilson's work provides the essential theory you need to understand the why behind these modern code requirements, even if the specific numeric values differ from older editions.
This is the most recent standalone edition dedicated specifically to prestressed concrete, published by John Wiley & Sons in 1991. It covers fundamental principles, partial prestressing, and slab design.
Prestressed concrete structures are widely used in modern construction due to their advantages in terms of strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. The design of these structures requires a thorough understanding of the behavior of concrete and prestressing steel under various loads.
