Structural Engineering Technology

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 "National"" Building"" Code of Canada 2005." The material in this book is presented in the logical order in which structural design would be performed in practice.

Concrete is one of the most used materials in the construction industry. In structural systems, the combination of concrete and steel reinforcement bars gives rise to reinforced concrete (RC), which is widely applied in the civil engineering field due to its adequate mechanical strength, durability, and fire resistance. Steel-rebar reinforced structures are subjected to structural deterioration when subjected to extreme loadings such as earthquake, fire, impact loadings and cyclic loading, consequently reducing the expected life and performance of structures. To enhance the structural performance, the RC structures are usually retrofitted or strengthened. This book reviews design, performance and applications of reinforced concrete.

Develops simple theories to help students understand the fundamental principles of reinforced concrete design. Incorporates current Code requirements, as well as design formulas, design charts and design examples which will prove useful both to students and practising engineers. This second edition of the book is updated to include the revised Concrete Structures and Loading

This book provides an introduction to the theory and design of composite structures of steel and concrete. Material applicable to both buildings and bridges is included, with more detailed information relating to structures for buildings. Throughout, the design methods are illustrated by calculations in accordance with the Eurocode for composite structures, EN 1994, Part 1-1, 'General rules and rules for buildings' and Part 1-2, 'Structural fire design', and their cross-references to ENs 1990 to 1993. The methods are stated and explained, so that no reference to Eurocodes is needed. ...

This book provides guidance on the properties, specification, testing, and the latest methods for effective production of glassfibre reinforced concrete.
