Practical Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings

This book will provide comprehensive, practical knowledge for the design of reinforced concrete buildings. The approach will be unique as it will focus primarily on the design of various structures and structural elements as done in design offices with an emphasis on compliance with the relevant codes. It will give an overview of the integrated design of buildings and explain the design of various elements such as slabs, beams, columns, walls, and footings. It will be written in easy-to-use format and refer to all the latest relevant American codes of practice (IBC and ASCE) at every stage. The book will compel users to think critically to enhance their intuitive design capabilities.
PRACTICAL DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES

Release Date: 2010
This book is a comprehensive presentation of the practical aspects of analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures. Written on the basis of the British (BS) and European (Eurocode) codes of practices, this book is primarily meant for the undergraduate students of civil engineering. It will also be highly useful for structural engineers working in the fields of design, consultancy and construction involving reinforced concrete structures. The text is organized into four parts, each dealing with the analysis and design of a specific type of reinforced concrete structure. The first part covers the multi-storeyed administrative/office building. The second part deals with the elevated storage bin structure used in steel plants. The elevated structural framework subjected to mechanical vibration is the subject matter of the third part. The fourth and final part discusses the precast reinforced concrete workshop building. The important activities required to be carried out prior to structural analysis—structural arrangement planning, materials selection, examination of buildability and environmental impact—are covered in the initial chapters in each part. This is followed by a step-by-step presentation of the analysis and design procedures for various structures and structural elements/members. The book presents the various structural analyses and design calculations in an exhaustive manner. The text is illustrated with a large number of visuals. Important additional information relevant to this field can be found in the references provided at the end of various chapters. The STRAP structural analysis program for the multi-storeyed administrative/office building, and the vibration analysis of the elevated reinforced concrete framed structure, are provided in the Annexures to the book.
Reinforced Concrete Design

Reinforced Concrete Design: A Practical Approach, 2E is the only Canadian textbook which covers the design of reinforced concrete structural members in accordance with the CSA Standard A23.3-04 Design of Concrete Structures, including its 2005, 2007, and 2009 amendments, and the National Building Code of Canada 2010. Reinforced Concrete Design: A Practical Approach covers key topics for curriculum of undergraduate reinforced concrete design courses, and it is a useful learning resource for the students and a practical reference for design engineers. Since its original release in 2005 the book has been well received by readers from Canadian universities, colleges, and design offices. The authors have been commended for a simple and practical approach to the subject by students and course instructors. The book contains numerous design examples solved in a step-by-step format. The second edition is going to be available exclusively in hard cover version, and colours have been used to embellish the content and illustrations. This edition contains a new chapter on the design of two-way slabs and numerous revisions of the original manuscript. Design of two-way slabs is a challenging topic for engineering students and young engineers. The authors have made an effort to give a practical design perspective to this topic, and have focused on analysis and design approaches that are widely used in structural engineering practice. The topics include design of two-way slabs for flexure, shear, and deflection control. Comprehensive revisions were made to Chapter 4 to reflect the changes contained in the 2009 amendment to CSA A23.3-04. Chapters 6 and 7 have been revised to correct an oversight related to the transverse reinforcement spacing requirements in the previous edition of the book. Chapter 8 includes a new design example on slender columns and a few additional problems. Several errors and omissions (both text and illustrations) have also been corrected. More than 300 pages of the original book have been revised in this edition. Several supplements are included on the book web site. Readers will get time-limited access to the new column design software BPA COLUMN, which can generate column interaction diagrams for rectangular and cicrcular columns of variable dimensions and reinforcement amount. Additional supplements include spreadsheets related to foundation design and column load take down, and a few Power Point presentations showcasing reinforced concrete structures under construction and in completed form. Instructors will have an access to additional web site, which contains electronic version of the Instructor's Solution Manual with complete solutions to the end-of-chapter problems, and Power Point presentations containing all illustrations from the book. The book is a collaborative effort between an academic and a practising engineer and reflects their unique perspectives on the subject.
