The book combines history with academic notes for use at the university level, presenting design examples from actual jobs with applications and detailing for the practicing engineer. Chapter 1 tells the history of posttensioned concrete as only Ken Bondy can tell it. Chapters 28 are the notes Dirk Bondy uses to teach Design of Prestressed Concrete Structures at Ucla and Cal PolySan Luis Obispo. Chapters 913 are design examples that address many of the decisions faced by practicing engineers on typical projects. Chapters 1314 cover the art of detailing and observing the construction of posttensioned concrete. This knowledge was obtained over many years of working on our own projects and listening and learning from the the pioneers of posttensioned concrete. Chapter 15 covers the slab on grade industry, which represents more sales of posttensioning tendons than all other posttensioning applications combined.
