Reinforced Concrete Design

This volume provides an introduction to the principles and methods of design for concrete structures. It is directed primarily at students and young designers who require an understanding of the basic theory and a concise guide to design procedures. Although the detailed design methods are generally according to British standards, much of the theory and practice is of a fundamental nature and should, therefore, be useful to engineers in other countries. The fourth edition incorporates information on the British Standard Code of Practice for water-retaining structure, BS 8007. The subject matter has been arranged, so that chapters one to five deal mostly with theory and analysis, while the subsequent chapters cover the design and detailing of various types of member and structure.
