Reynolds's Reinforced Concrete Designers Handbook

Reynolds's Reinforced Concrete Designer's Handbook has been completely rewritten and updated for this new edition to take account of the numerous developments in design and practice over the last 20 years. These include significant revisions to British Standards and Codes of Practice, and the introduction of the new Eurocodes. The principal feature of the Handbook is the collection of over 200 full-page tables and charts, covering all aspects of structural analysis and reinforced concrete design. These, together with extensive numerical examples, will enable engineers to produce rapid and efficient designs for a large range of concrete structures conforming to the requirements of BS 5400, BS 8007, BS 8110 and Eurocode 2. Design criteria, safety factors, loads and material properties are explained in the first part of the book. Details are then given of the analysis of structures ranging from single-span beams and cantilevers to complex multi-bay frames, shear walls, arches and containment structures. Miscellaneous structures such as helical stairs, shell roofs and bow girders are also covered. A large section of the Handbook presents detailed information concerning the design of various types of reinforced concrete elements according to current design methods, and their use in such structures as buildings, bridges, cylindrical and rectangular tanks, silos, foundations, retaining walls, culverts and subways. All of the design tables and charts in this section of the Handbook are completely new. This highly regarded work provides in one publication a wealth of information presented in a practical and user-friendly form. It is a unique reference source for structural engineers specialising in reinforced concrete design, and will also be of considerable interest to lecturers and students of structural engineering.Reynolds, Charles E. is the author of 'Reynolds's Reinforced Concrete Designers Handbook ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780419258308 and ISBN 0419258302.
