Engineering

• Coverage for each subject progresses from theory (why things are done) based on mechanics, to the derivation of the design method, to practical design requirements, to worked-out examples. Pg.___

• Presents the various topics — flexure, shear, columns, etc. —at two levels:

  • Begins each topic with the basics. Pg.___

  • Moves to more advanced topics not usually found in American texts — e.g., unsymmetrical beams and columns, strain compatibility solutions of beams, P - …D analyses of frames, and the design of deep beams and column-beam joints. Pg.___

• Features 92 examples — each worked out completely from first principles (at least once) and in the same step-by- step order. Examples:

  • Begin with guidance on how to select trial sections and end with a drawing of the reinforcement. Pg.___

  • Illustrate the effects of unequal spans and other situation normally encountered in design — but not in textbooks. Pg.___

  • Increase in complexity within each chapter. Pg.___

• Contains an abundance of line drawings and photographs. Pg.___

• Presents the theory of reinforced concrete as a direct application of the laws of statics and the behavior of reinforced concrete. Pg.___

• Emphasizes that a successful design not only satisfies the design equations, but also is capable of being built at a reasonable price. Pg.___

• Presents the theory of shear and torsion based on truss models that emphasize important aspects of member behavior. Pg.___

  Reinforced concrete design encompases both the art and science of engineering. This book presents the theory of reinforced concrete as a direct application of the laws of statics and mechanics of materials. In addition, it emphasizes that a successful design not only satisfies design rules, but also is capable of being built in a timely fashion and for a reasonable cost. A multi-tiered approach makes Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design an outstanding textbook for a variety of university courses on reinforced concrete design. Topics are normally introduced at a fundamental level, and then move to higher levels where prior educational experience and the development of engineering judgment will be required.
