Concrete Structures

The author have attempted to present in this volume detailed and simple treatment of the theory and design of R.C.C. structures. Complete designs of various structures have been worked out with detailed drawings. Besides giving the basic principles for design of prestressed concrete, theory along with detailed drawings & charts as applied to concrete structures has been given which will be of immense use for engineers for design and reference purpose. While the work done by previous authors in the field of R.C.C. structures has greatly influenced the subject matter of this book, its specially lies not only in entirely fresh and analytical approach to the problem of design with certain basically new conception but also in the more comprehensive treatment which makes the design of structures fuller in all respects, even to the extent of minor details. The revised edition features, some advanced topics on shell construction and folded plate construction with emphasis on design. Another feature of this edition is two chapters on design problems, and graphs for compression with bending, which will prove to immense help to the readers.
