Concrete Structures Part-II 4th Ed.


Book Description

This book is prepared according to the 2019 ACI Code for buildings and 2007 AASHTO LRFD Specifications for bridges. The units used throughout the presentation are the SI units according to the official system of units in Pakistan. As in Part-I of the same series of books, it is tried that the three main phases of structural design, namely load determination, design calculations and detailing are together introduced to the beginner. In this set of two books, besides the usual reinforced concrete design, retaining walls, yield line and strip method of slab design, slabs-on-grade, moment-curvature relationships, water retaining structures, prestressed concrete, dome design, special types of stairs, machine foundations, pipe design for D-load, bridge super-structure design, bridge sub-structure design, ordinary RC wall subjected to in-plane and out-of-plane bending, special RC wall, coupling beam, basics of formwork design, plain concrete properties and repair / rehabilitation of concrete structures are also presented. This book is useful with the 1st part of the same book.




Concrete Structures Part-II, 2nd Edition


Book Description

This book is prepared according to the 2011 ACI Code for buildings and AASHTO LRFD Specifications for bridges. The units used throughout the presentation are the SI units according to the official system of units in Pakistan. As in Part-I of the same series of books, it is tried that the three main phases of structural design, namely load determination, design calculations and detailing together are introduced to the beginner. Besides reinforced concrete design, basics of formwork design, plain concrete properties and repair / rehabilitation of concrete structures are also presented. This book is useful with the 1st part of the same book. Suggestions for further improvement of the presentation will be highly appreciated and will be incorporated in the future editions.




Concrete Structures, Part-I


Book Description

This book is prepared according to the ACI Code 2019 for buildings and AASHTO LRFD Specifications for Bridges 2007. The units used throughout the presentation are the SI units, however, the expressions and examples are also given in US Customary units in the starting chapters to keep continuity with the traditional system of units. It is tried that the three main phases of structural design, namely load determination, design calculations and detailing are introduced to the beginner. This book is useful with the 2nd part of the same book. The comments on the previous editions of the book sent by colleagues, fellow engineers and students are incorporated in this edition. All persons who contributed in this regard are greatly acknowledged. Suggestions for further improvement of the presentation will be appreciated and will be incorporated in the future editions.







Concrete : Microstructure, Properties, and Materials


Book Description

This textbook presents the art and science of concrete in a simple, clear, hands-on manner, focusing on the following: Cement and concrete are predicted to be the premier building material of the 21st Century; Includes unique diagrams, photographs, and summary tables; Updated to include new chapters on non-destructive methods for concrete; future challenges in concrete technology; an increased number of examples of concrete applications; and new developments in durability.




Precast Concrete Structures


Book Description

Building with precast concrete elements is one of the most innovative forms of construction. This book serves as an introduction to this topic, including examples, and thus supplies all the information necessary for conceptual and detailed design.




Finite Element Design of Concrete Structures


Book Description

In Finite Element Design of Concrete Structures: practical problems and their solutions the author addresses this blind belief in computer results by offering a useful critique that important details are overlooked due to the flood of information from the output of computer calculations. Indeed, errors in the numerical model may lead in extreme cases to structural failures as the collapse of the so-called Sleipner platform has demonstrated.




Concrete Structures, 3rd Edition


Book Description

This book is prepared according to the 2014 ACI Code for buildings and AASHTO LRFD Specifications for bridges. The units used throughout the presentation are the SI units, however, the expressions and examples are also given in US Customary units in the starting chapters to keep continuity with the traditional system of units. It is tried that the three main phases of structural design, namely load determination, design calculations and detailing are introduced to the beginner. This book is useful with the 2nd part of the same book. After the printing of the first and second editions, the comments send by colleagues, fellow engineers and students are acknowledged with thanks. Suggestions for further improvement of the presentation will be highly appreciated and will be incorporated in the future editions.




Civil & Structural Engineering


Book Description

Everything civil and structural engineers in California need to prepare for the seismic design topics of the Special Civil Engineering Exam and California Structural Engineering Exam. This guide emphasizes methods that lead to the quickest and simplest solution to any problem.




Reinforced Concrete Structures: Analysis and Design


Book Description

A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN Reinforced Concrete Structures explains the underlying principles of reinforced concrete design and covers the analysis, design, and detailing requirements in the 2008 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary and the 2009 International Code Council (ICC) International Building Code (IBC). This authoritative resource discusses reinforced concrete members and provides techniques for sizing the cross section, calculating the required amount of reinforcement, and detailing the reinforcement. Design procedures and flowcharts guide you through code requirements, and worked-out examples demonstrate the proper application of the design provisions. COVERAGE INCLUDES: Mechanics of reinforced concrete Material properties of concrete and reinforcing steel Considerations for analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures Requirements for strength and serviceability Principles of the strength design method Design and detailing requirements for beams, one-way slabs, two-way slabs, columns, walls, and foundations
