Design Of Reinforced Concrete Sections Under Bending And Axial Forces

Design of Reinforced Concrete Sections Under Bending and Axial Forces

This book contains auxiliary calculation tools to facilitate the safety assessment of reinforced concrete sections. Essential parameters in the design to the ultimate limit state of resistance such as the percentage of reinforcement and the position of the neutral axis in concrete cross-sections, as well as the control of the maximum stresses in service limit states are provided by these tools. A set of tables, charts and diagrams used to design cross-sections of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures are supplied. The most current beams and columns cross-sections namely, rectangular, circular and T-sections are considered. These tools have been prepared in line with the provisions of the new European regulations, with particular reference to Eurocode 2 – Design of Concrete Structures. The book stands as an ideal learning resource for students of structural design and analysis courses in civil engineering, building construction and architecture, as well as a valuable reference for concrete structural design professionals in practice.

Reinforced Concrete Design

Reinforced Concrete Design (RC) is performed mostly by the limit state method throughout the world. This book covers the fundamental concepts and principles of RC design developing the topics from the basic theories and assumptions. Building upon the possible revisions to the mother code of concrete in India, IS:456-2000, it explains the RC design provisions of IRC:112-2020, which are in line with international standards. In addition to strength design, serviceability and ductility design are also covered. Features: Highlights the basic philosophy of RC design and behaviour of the sections up to and beyond limit state. Clarifies limit state theory from the basic assumptions provided in relevant Indian and international standards, IS:456, IRC:112 and Eurocode:2. Includes design aids or tools for standard and high strength concrete up to M90 grade as per different codes of practice. Explains the concept of ductility of reinforced concrete sections subjected to flexure with or without axial loads from fundamental principles. Covers fundamentals on serviceability requirements in reinforced concrete structures. Illustrates the design methodology of shear walls and includes design aids developed using basic principles as per relevant codes of practice. Explains reinforced concrete design provisions as per latest national and international standards and these are expected to be in line with those to be included in the forthcoming revision of IS:456. This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers and professionals in civil engineering, construction engineering and concrete.
