Concrete Structures Books

Earthquake Engineering demonstrates how to design structural members and joints for seismic resistance. The text guides readers through dozens of structural designs, documenting how to perform each step, make the necessary calculations, and adhere to relevant design codes. Most other texts on seismic design focus on theory and the construction of idealized structures; this text […]

The Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (Code) provides minimum requirements for the materials, design, and detailing of structural concrete buildings and, where applicable, nonbuilding structures. This Code addresses structural systems, members, and connections, including cast-in-place, precast, plain, nonprestressed, prestressed, and composite construction. Among the subjects covered are: design and construction for strength, serviceability, and

The major goal of earthquake engineering is to limit seismic-induced structural damages at reasonable cost. To achieve this goal, one of the most effective approaches to reduce structural response is to utilize supplemental dampers, provided such a damping system is properly designed. In this sense, understanding structural damping is critically important for successful seismic design.

The 3rd edition is updated by Alan Williams to the 2006 International Building Code, ASCE 7-05, ACI 318-05 and ACI 530-05. In each chapter, sections of the code are presented, analyzed and explained in a logical and simple manner and are followed by illustrative examples. Each concentrates on a specific section of the code and

“Packed with worked examples, this practical design guide illustrates how Eurocode 2 may be used in practice. A short introduction outlines the fundamental objectives of design and referring to relevant sources of information for loads and material properties. The book then presents complete and detailed designs of six archetypal structures, civil structures as well as

This document provides standards of practice for both the architect/engineer (A/E) and reinforcing steel detailer in showing reinforcing steel details. It is divided into three parts: one addressed to the A/E, one for the detailer, and a third providing a reference table and figures. It defines the responsibilities of both the A/E and detailer. It

Flach The 2004 edition of this must-have resource provides answers to many detailing questions asked by design

This document is intended to become a standard reference that can be used in conjunction with the normal design codes and manuals for work in structural design offices. The objective has been to provide ‘good practice’ guidance within a working document on structural concrete that can be used to interpret the designer’s instructions in the

DESCRIPTION The Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook provides assistance to professionals engaged in the design of reinforced concrete buildings and related structures. This edition is a major revision that brings it up-to-date with the approach and provisions of Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-14). The layout and look of the Handbook have also been

INTRODUCTION How thick should the slab be?How strong should the concrete be7Is reinforcement needed?Where should the joints be placed?Can adding fibers enhance the slab3 performance?When is post-tensioning appropriate?What can be done to control cracking? This how-to–do-it book provides practical answers to these and other major questionsthat confront owners and designers when an industrial floor is

The “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete” (“Code”) provides minimum requirements for the materials, design, and detailing of structural concrete buildings and, where applicable, nonbuilding structures.

In PCA Notes on ACI 318-11 Building Code, the emphasis is placed on “how-to-use” the code incorporating discussions behind the code provisions and fully worked design solutions to real world problems. The manual has been found to be also an invaluable aid to educators, contractors, materials and product manufacturers, building code authorities, inspectors, and others

Many important advances in designing earthquake-resistant structures have occurred over the last several years. Civil engineers need an authoritative source of information that reflects the issues that are unique to the field. Comprising chapters selected from the second edition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural Engineering, Earthquake Engineering for Structural Design provides a tightly focused,
