Principles of Reinforced Concrete Design
About this book
Encouraging creative uses of reinforced concrete, Principles of Reinforced Concrete Design draws a clear distinction between fundamentals and professional consensus. It presents a mixture of fundamentals along with practical methods and provides the basic concepts required for designing reinforced concrete (RC) structures, emphasizing principles based on mechanics, experience, and experimentation, while encouraging practitioners to consult their local building codes. It includes applications for both building and bridge structural design, and it is applicable worldwide, as it is not dependent upon any particular codes. This new edition includes updated material on slabs, ranging from pragmatic recommendations to detailed solutions based on mechanics and geometry. New examples, illustrations, and exercises have also been added to aid instructors and students. SI units have also been added to help broaden the reach of the book's coverage.
- Contains concise coverage that can be taught in one semester.
- Underscores the fundamental principles of behavior.
- Provides students with an understanding of the principles upon which codes are based. Assists in navigating the labyrinth of ever-changing codes.
- Fosters an inherent understanding of design.
