Reinforced Concrete Designer's Handbook (Paperback, Tenth Edition)

This work has been thoroughly revised in accordance with the requirements of BS 8110. The principal feature of this publication is the collection of 200 full-page tables and charts, which enables engineers to produce rapid and efficient concrete designs conforming with current British Standards and Codes of Practice. After a general introduction, safety factors, loads and pressures are discussed. Details are given of the analysis of structures ranging from single-span beams and cantilevers to complete multistorey multibay framed structures and arches. The materials required for concrete construction are next considered and information is provided on the relevant Standards and Codes, together with data on permissible stresses, etc.;The major section of the handbook presents detailed information concerning the design of various types of reinforced concrete elements according to all current design methods, and the use of such elements in such structures as building, bridges, culverts, subways, roads, containers, tanks, bunkers, silos, retaining walls, foundations, piled structures, wharves and jetties.
