This book was written to make the material presented in my book,
Stahlbetonbrucken, accessible to a larger number of engineers throughout
the world. A work in English, the logical choice for this task, had
been contemplated as Stahlbetonbrucken was still in its earliest stages
of preparation. The early success of Stahlbetonbrucken provided
significant impetus for the writing of Prestressed Concrete Bridges,
which began soon after the publication of its predecessor. The present
work is more than a mere translation of Stahlbetonbrucken. Errors in
Stahlbetonbrucken that were detected after publication have been
corrected. New material on the relation between cracking in concrete and
corrosion of reinforce ment, prestressing with unbonded tendons,
skew-girder bridges, and cable-stayed bridges has been added. Most
importantly, however, the presentation of the material has been
extensively reworked to improve clarity and consistency. Prestressed
Concrete Bridges can thus be regarded as a thoroughly new and improved
edition of its predecessor.
