Reinforced Concrete Mechanics and Design 5th Edition
Reinforced Concrete Mechanics and Design 5th Edition
Reinforced concrete design encompasses both the art and science of engineering.
This book presents the theory of reinforced concrete as a direct application of the laws
of statics and mechanics of materials.
In addition, it emphasizes that a successful design not only satisfies design rules,
but also is capable of being built in a timely fashion and for a reasonable cost.
A multi-tiered approach makes Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design
an outstanding textbook for a variety of university courses on reinforced concrete design.
Topics are normally introduced at a fundamental level, and then move tohigher
levels where prior educational experience and the development of engineering
judgment will be required.
This is probably the best textbook for reinforced concrete design in the market,
especially for the two to three semester sequences of reinforced concrete
courses that are taught at universities.
It provides many in-depth examples and clearly explains
all procedures in a very concise manner, making the textbook very readable.
The authors also spent a lot of time discussing the MECHANICS of reinforced concrete,
which is something that many other textbooks do not thoroughly cover.
I would highly recommend this textbook to any student in Structural Engineering.
It is also serves as an excellent reference for practicing structural engineers.
You will not be disappointed when you read this textbook.

Reynolds’s Reinforced Concrete Designer’s Handbook
Reynolds’s Reinforced Concrete Designer’s Handbook
A structure is an assembly of members each of which, under the action of imposed loads and deformations, is subjected to bending or direct force (either tensile or compressive), or to a combination of bending and direct force. These effects may be accompanied by shearing forces and sometimes by torsion.
Imposed deformations occur as a result of concrete shrinkage and creep, changes in temperature and differential settlement. Behaviour of the structure in the event of fire or accidental damage, resulting from impact or explosion, may need to be examined. The conditions of exposure to environmental and chemical attack also need to be considered.
Design includes selecting a suitable form of construction, determining the effects of imposed loads and deformations,
and providing members of adequate stiffness and resistance. The members should be arranged so as to combine efficient load transmission with ease of construction, consistent with the intended use of the structure and the nature of the site.
and providing members of adequate stiffness and resistance. The members should be arranged so as to combine efficient load transmission with ease of construction, consistent with the intended use of the structure and the nature of the site.
Experience and sound judgement are often more important than precise calculations in achieving safe and economical structures. Complex mathematics should not be allowed to confuse a sense of good engineering. The level of accuracy employed in the calculations should be consistent throughout the design process, wherever possible.
Structural design is largely controlled by regulations or codes but, even within such bounds, the designer needs to exercise judgement in interpreting the requirements rather than designing to the minimum allowed by the letter of a clause. In the United Kingdom for many years, the design of reinforced concrete structures has been based on the recommendations of British Standards.

Simplified Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Fourth Edition
Simplified Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Fourth Edition
There is a little doubt that the construction of a very tall building, a large domed arena, or any other prominent
mega structure attracts the interest of a great number of structural engineers. The construction of such
structures usually represents the highest level of sophistication in structural design and often introduces
daring new concepts and structural innovations as well as improvements in construction techniques.
The Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318) is an authoritative document often adopted and
referenced as a design and construction standard in building codes around the country as well as in the
specifications of several federal agencies, its provisions thus becoming law. Whether ACI 318 is enforced as part
of building regulations or is otherwise utilized as a voluntary consensus standard, design professionals use this
standard almost exclusively as the basis for the proper design and construction of reinforced concrete buildings.

Many structural engineers have the desire to become professionally involved in the design of such distinctive
buildings during their careers. However, very few projects of this prestigious caliber are built in any given year.
Truly, the building universe consists largely of low-rise and small-area buildings. Figure 1-1 shows the
percentage of building floor area constructed in 2002 in terms of different building height categories. The
figure shows that the vast majority of the physical volume of construction is in the 1- to 3-story height range.

Portland cement concrete is a composite material made by combining cement, supplementary cementing materials, aggregates, water, and chemical admixtures in suitable proportions and allowing the resulting mixture to set and harden over time.
Because hardened concrete is a relatively brittle material with a low tensile strength,
strength, steel reinforcing bars and sometimes discontinuous fibers are used in structural concrete to provide some tensile load-bearing capacity and to increase the toughness of the material.
In this chapter, we deal with some of the basic constituents: cements, aggregates, water, steel reinforcement, and fiber reinforcement.
Chemical admixtures and supplementary cementing materials (often referred to as mineral admixtures) are covered in Chapter 2.
It must be emphasized that choosing the appropriate

Reinforced Concrete Design Theory and Examples
Reinforced Concrete Design Theory and Examples
The third edition of the book has been written to conform to BS 8110 1997 the code for
structural use of concrete and BS 8007:1987 the code for Design of structures for retaining
aqueous liquids. The aim remains as stated in the first edition: to set out design theory
and illustrate the practical applications of code rules by the inclusion of as many useful
examples as possible. The book is written primarily for students on civil engineering
degree courses to assist them to understand the principles of element design and the procedures for the design of concrete buildings. The book will also be of assistance to new
graduates starting on their career in structural design.

The book has been thoroughly revised to conform to the updated code rules. Many new examples and sections have been added. In particular the chapter on Slabs has been considerably expanded with extensive coverage of Yield line analysis, Hillerborg’s strip
method and design for predetermined stress fields. In addition, four new chapters have
been added to reflect the contents of university courses in design in structural concrete.
The new chapters are concerned with design of prestressed concrete structures, design of
water tanks, a short chapter comparing the important clauses of Eurocode 2 and finally a
chapter on the fundamental theoretical aspects of design of statically indeterminate structures,
an area that is very poorly treated in most text books.

Dictionary of Construction Terms
Dictionary of Construction Terms
This Dictionary of Construction Terms is intended to cover a wide range of the more common as well more esoteric yet important terms a building professional,
lawyer, student, judge, arbitrator, adjudicator, engineering economist or the like may require defi nition upon in the construction law fi eld.
The intention is to clear the fog, and to do so concisely in clear English in an alphabetical format.
So whether you are looking for the answer to a spandrel panel, chequerplate, revetment,
or NAECI or what is meant by nemo dat quod non habet or the rule in Pinnel’s case, we have it here, and a whole lot more.
In about 1994 I started assembling a construction database on my Psion Organiser
(for those that can remember such pocket computers) regularly adding building and engineering terms,
legal references etc relevant to the fi rm’s work as construction lawyers.
I was always excited to learn new terms and add to the record. Then about 10 years ago with the advent of powerful networked computing and software systems,
Fenwick Elliott created its own intranet platform, and that database was uploaded toit.
It was coined by the offi ce, “Simon Says”.
This data rapidly grew with our busy international practice and with projects
that are more complex the legal issues thrown up blossomed in tandem with the new technologies.

Formwork a Practical Guide
Formwork a Practical Guide
Amongst the many trades on a typical building site, the role and responsibilities of the formworker are unique.
There are few restrictions placed on his choice of working techniques.
In contrast, other trades are constrained by the most precise directions.
For the structural steelwork all sizes, connections, fixings and painting are defined in detail.
Reinforcement grades, sizes, positions, laps and tolerances are all predetermined.
Joinery is exhaustively detailed, colour schemes are prescribed, and furnishings selected.
Compared to this, the formworker is almost permitted to be a free spirit.
Most times, the only constraints are mandatory requirements on the concrete surface quality and accuracy, together with the builder’s demands on cost and time.
Outside this, he chooses his own formwork system, selects his materials and components, and devises the general arrangement and the details of construction.
Three general principles govern formwork design and construction:
QUALITY
SAFETY
ECONOMY.
SAFETY
ECONOMY.
These three matters are not separate and unrelated. Experienced formworkers know that it is a false economy to reduce quality.
Further, if the formworker feels safe, this will lead to more production and thus reduced costs.
Throughout this book, even if they are not specifically mentioned, these three principles are fundamental to all the matters described.
In this chapter their further discussion will relate ‘Quality’ to the quality of the concrete structure being produced, ‘Safety’ to both personal safety and formwork loading,
and ‘Economy’ to the matters that affect the total effective cost of formwork and the contribution of this to the total cost of the concrete structure.
The activity of formwork construction, its concreting and subsequent stripping, can
also have a significant loading effect on the permanent concrete structure being built.
also have a significant loading effect on the permanent concrete structure being built.
The design engineer for the permanent structure may place restrictions on the formworkers activities.
The formworker must ensure that full INFORMATION has been supplied on these and any other requirements that will influence the materials, methods of use and quality of the formwork.

FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures
FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a common term used by the civil engineering community for high-strength composites.
Composites have been used by the space and aerospace communities for over six decades and the use of composites by the civil engineering community spans about three decades.
In the composite system, the strength and the stiffness are primarily derived from fibers, and the matrix binds the fibers together to form structural and nonstructural components.
Composites are known for their
high specific strength, high stiffness, and corrosion resistance.
Repair and retrofit are still the predominant areas where FRPs are used in the civil engineering community.
The field is relatively young and, therefore, there is considerable ongoing research in this area.
American Concrete Institute Technical Committee 440 documents are excellent sources
for the latest information.
The primary purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to the basic concepts of repairing and retrofitting reinforced and prestressed concrete structural elements using FRP.
Basic material properties, fabrication techniques, design concepts for strengthening in bending, shear, and confinement, and field evaluation techniques are presented.
The book is geared toward advanced undergraduate and graduate students, professional engineers, field engineers, and user agencies such as various departments of transportation.
A number of flowcharts and design examples are provided to facilitate easy and thorough understanding.
Since this is a very active research field, some of the latest techniques such as near
-surface mounting (NSM) techniques are not covered in this book.
Rather, the aim is to provide the fundamentals and basic information.
