Reinforced Concrete - The Designers Handbook

Reinforced Concrete - The Designers Handbook has been written for students and practical structural engineers. Dubbed as one of the most comprehensive texts written on this topic this text provides up to date, practical treatment of reinforced concrete design in accordance with the latest Australian Concrete Structures Standard (AS 3600-2009) and takes into account the latest industry developments and studies. The authors bring together educational experience in tertiary and technical education sectors combined with research experience and practical experience in reinforced concrete design and associated fields of concrete testing, tilt-up concrete design, concrete pavements and concrete pipes. This Australian book emphasizes the theory behind design principles and equations used in design standards. Throughout the book, relevant theories are explained and used in the development of design equations. Reference is made to the relevant Standards, Codes and other publications throughout. Many design aids have been drawn following the development of design equations. Frequent reference is made in this book to the fourth edition of the Concrete Structures Standard, AS3600-2009.
