Description
This book is written primarily for students undergoing civil engineering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to enhance their knowledge of the design of reinforced concrete structures. It is a continuation of the first book entitled Reinforced Concrete Design to Eurocode 2, which outlines the basic design theory of reinforced concrete. The content of this book conforms to the latest Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures (MS EN 1992-1-1: 2010) of the Malaysian Standard. Eurocode 2 (four parts) follows the limit state principles of the earlier British Standard BS 8110. This book refers primarily to Part 1 of Eurocode 2, dealing with general rules and rules for buildings. Eurocode 2 must be used in conjunction with other Malaysian Standards, such as Eurocode: Basis of Structural Design, which addresses analysis, and Eurocode 1: Actions on Structures, which addresses loadings.
This book has nine chapters that cover topics commonly applied in construction industries and taught in postgraduate civil and structural engineering curriculums in many universities. The chapters include ribbed and flat slabs; shear walls; corbels; water retaining structures; raft foundations; domes; curved beams; design for torsion; calculation of deflection; and an introduction to seismic design.
