Reinforced concrete: mechanics and design

Description

Key Benefits:Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Designuses the theory of reinforced concrete design to teach readers the basic scientific and artistic principles of civil engineering. The text takes a topic often introduced at the advanced level and makes it accessible to all audiences by building a foundation with core engineering concepts. TheSeventh Editionis up-to-date with the latest Building Code for Structural Concrete, giving readers access to accurate information that can be applied outside of the classroom. Readers are able to apply complicated engineering concepts to real world scenarios with in-text examples and practice problems in each chapter. With explanatory features throughout, theSeventh Editionmakes the reinforced concrete design a theory all engineers can learn from.Key Topics:Introduction; The Design Process; Materials; Flexure: Behavior and Normal Strength of Beam Sections; Flexural Design of Beam Sections; Shear in Beams; Torsion; Development, Anchorage, and Splicing of Reinforcement; Serviceability; Continuous Beams and One-Way Slabs; Columns: Combined Axial Load and Bending; Slender Columns; Two-Way Slabs: Behavior, Analysis, and Design; Two Way Slabs: Elastic and Yield-Line Analyses; Footings; Shear Friction, Horizontal Shear Transfer, and Composite Concrete Beams; Discontinuity Regions and Strut-and-Tie Models; Walls and Shear Walls; Design for Earthquake ResistanceKey Market:This book is useful for anyone studying architecture or civil engineering.
