Fundamentals of Reinforced Concrete

This book covers the design of main reinforced concrete structural members in accordance with the limit states design method, and is based on the new CSA Standard A23.3-04 Design of Concrete Structures.  The load provisions are consistent with the new National Building Code of Canada 2005.  The provisions of the revised codes and the major revisions are outlined in the book.  The material in this book is presented in the logical order in which a structural design would be performed in practice.  The topics are covered at different levels of complexity.  The book takes a non-calculus based practical approach to the analysis and design of reinforced concrete members, rather than a rigorous theoretical approach.  Modern analysis and design procedures consistent with design practice have been used.  The book contains many numerical examples solved in a step-by-step format.  Metric (SI) units have been mostly used throughout the book.
