Design Handbook for Reinforced Concrete Elements 2nd Ed

Develops simple theories to help students understand the fundamental principles of reinforced concrete design. Incorporates current Code requirements, as well as design formulas, design charts and design examples which will prove useful both to students and practising engineers.

The new edition of Design Handbook for Reinforced Concrete Elements covers the following essential elements:

• develops simple theory to help the student understand fundamental principles
• develops design formulas from first principles
• develops design charts for all aspects of reinforced concrete design
• incorporates many design examples to help the user understand the design processes
• is written to satisfy the current AS3600 – 2001 Concrete Structures Code requirements for deflection and crack control in beams and slabs
• incorporates 65Mpa concrete strength and 500Mpa reinforcing steel in the Code
• includes high strength concrete column design charts with concrete strengths of 65, 80,100 and 120Mpa used in modern design and expected to be included in the next main revision of the Code.

The student and practising engineer will find the book easy to use, confident in the knowledge that the AS3600 – 2001 Concrete Code Design requirements are covered in the book.
