An introduction to the probability analysis leading to the limit state concepts is illustrated along with some statistics of observations. Full and partial prestress designs based on the latest codes of practice are explained with a number of examples on variety of elements, such as beams, ties, columns, slabs, shells and bridges. Detailed design examples on minimum weight design of beams are presented to enable the students and designers to look for rational solutions. Cost analysis of components of materials and formwork in beams is illustrated.
