This book explains concepts in behaviour of buildings during earthquakes. The book dwells on basic concepts in earthquake resistant design of buildings, first describes these at a conceptual level and then articulates further with numerical examples. It is an attempt to respond to some of the frequently asked questions by Architects and Structural Engineers regarding

All the building structures have to design based on the relevant code of practice of standard. The choice of the standard code to be applied varies and sometimes depends on the requirement of the local authority or familiarity of the designers. Standard code is essential in the reinforced concrete structures design to provide a safety

Description The main purpose of this publication is to provide step-by-step design procedures and design aids that make designing and detailing reinforced concrete members simpler and faster. The requirements of Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete are presented in a straightforward manner with emphasis placed on the proper application of the provisions in everyday practice.

This book is intended to guide practicing structural engineers familiar with ear lier ACI building codes into more profitable routine designs with the ACI 1995 Building Code (ACI 318-95). Each new ACI Building Code expresses the latest knowledge of reinforced concrete in legal language for safe design application. Beginning in 1956 with the introduction of

Book Description The design of structures in general, and prestressed concrete structures in particular, requires considerably more information than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This textbook presents a detailed description and explanation of the behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures, both

This Manual includes state-of-the-art information relative to materials, post-tensioning systems, construction practices and grouting of post-tensioning tendons for bridges. The Manual is targeted at Federal, State and local transportation department and private company personnel that may be involved in the design, inspection, construction or maintenance of bridges that contain post-tensioning tendons. This Manual will serve

Prestressed concrete is widely used in the construction industry in buildings, bridges, and other structures. The new edition of this book provides up-to-date guidance on the detailed design of prestressed concrete structures according to the provisions of the latest preliminary version of Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures, DD ENV 1992-1-1: 1992. The emphasis throughout

This manual contains updated information on the current practices in the use, design, and construction of post-tensioned structures. The 6th Edition has been extensively expanded with 12 new chapters that give design guidance on modern applications of post-tensioning. All of the original chapters have been totally revised and modified to reflect the current industry practices.

The corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete is a major problem facing civil engineers and surveyors throughout the world today. There will always be a need to build stuctures in corrosive environments and it is therefore essential to address the problems that result. Corrosion of Steel in Concrete provides information on corrosion of steel in
