ntroduction -- The design process -- Materials -- Flexure: behavior and nominal strength of beam sections -- Flexural design of beam sections -- Shear in beams -- Torsion -- Development, anchorage, and splicing of reinforcement -- Serviceability -- Continuous beams and one-way slabs -- Columns: combined axial load and bending -- Slender columns -- Two-way slabs: behavior, analysis, and design -- Two-way slabs: elastic and yield-line analyses -- Footings -- Shear friction, horizontal shear transfer, and composite concrete beams -- Discontinuity regions and strut-and-tie models -- Walls and shear walls -- Design for earthquake resistance.
This book presents the theory of reinforced concrete design as a direct aplication of the laws of statics and mechanics of materials. It emphasizes that a successful design not only satisfies design rules, but is capable of being built in a timely fashion for a reasonable cost and should provide a long service life.
