Design Of Concrete Structures

This text primarily analyses different methods of design of concrete structures as per IS 456: 2000 (Plain and Reinforced Concrete—Indian Standard Code of Practice, 4th revision, Bureau of Indian Standards). It gives greater emphasis on the limit state method so as to illustrate the acceptable limits for the safety and serviceability requirements of structures.

1. Instructional Objectives at the beginning of the chapter highlight important concepts.

2. Summary at the end of the chapter to help student revise key points.

3. Sixty-nine solved illustrative examples presenting step-by-step calculations.

4. Chapter-end exercises to test student’s understanding of the concepts.

5. Forty Tests to enable students to gauge their preparedness for actual exams.

6. This comprehensive text is suitable for undergraduate students of civil engineering and architecture. It can also be useful to professional engineers.
