This book provides a comprehensive exploration of microwave‑based production techniques for prestressed concrete, presenting fundamental principles, experimental studies, and modeling approaches that reveal how electromagnetic energy can be harnessed to engineer concrete with tailored performance. Through a multidisciplinary lens that integrates electromagnetics, dielectric characterization, heat and mass transfer, and composite material science, the chapters examine microwave volumetric heating, accelerated curing methods—including those incorporating industrial byproducts—and the resulting mechanical, thermal, and microstructural effects. This book highlights microwave curing as a promising and rapidly advancing technology for enhancing the efficiency and quality of prestressed concrete manufacturing.
