Includes bibliographical references and index

Introduction -- Materials, structural failures and durability -- Limit state design and structural analysis -- Section design for moment -- Shear, bond and torsion -- Serviceability limit state checks -- Simply supported beams -- Reinforced concrete slabs -- Columns -- Walls in buildings -- Foundations -- Retaining walls -- Design of statically indeterminate structures -- Reinforced concrete framed buildings -- Tall buildings -- Prestressed concrete -- Design of structures retaining aqueous liquids -- Eurocode 2 -- Deflection and cracking

This text sets out design theory for concrete elements and structures, and illustrates practical applications of the theory. Students on civil engineering degree courses will find this book useful as it explains the principles of element design and the procedures for the design of concrete buildings.
