Designed primarily as a text for undergraduate students of Civil Engineering for their first course on Limit State Design of Reinforced Concrete, this compact and well-organized text covers all the fundamental concepts in a highly readable style. The text conforms to the provision of the latest revision of Indian Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete, IS : 456 (2000). First six chapters deal with fundamentals of limit states design of reinforced concrete. The objective of last two chapters (including design aids in appendix) is to initiate the readers in practical design of concrete structures. The text gives detailed discussion of basic concepts, behaviour of the various structural components under loads, and development of fundamental expressions for analysis and design. It also presents efficient and systematic procedures for solving design problems. In addition to the discussion of basis for design calculations, a large number of worked-out practical design examples based on the current design practices have been included to illustrate the basic principles of reinforced concrete design. Besides students, practising engineers would find this text extremely useful. MAJOR TOPICS DISCUSSED ARE • Practical Design of Key Building Elements: Design of singly and doubly reinforced rectangular and flanged beams, lintel, continuous beam, one- way and two-way slabs, staircases; short and slender columns subjected to axial load, uni-axial and biaxial bending moments; reinforced concrete walls; members in direct tension, and members subjected to bending and direct tension; spread footings for walls, isolated or independent footings for columns; Basement wall. • Practical Detailing the Reinforcement: Detailing of slabs, beams, off-set columns, joints; Detailing the member with a change in direction, edge beams, support points, corners of wall; Beams or girders intersection joints (Grid-joints); Beams and column joints (Rigid-frame joints); Corner joints; Exterior and interior joints. • Design Aids: Maximum positive and negative bending moments, and reactions in multi-span continuous-beams; Moment resisting capacity of singly reinforced rectangular beams; Design of singly reinforced rectangular beam for the given ultimate moment; Values of pt and pc for the doubly reinforced rectangular beam sections for the given Mu/bd2 ;
Spacing of two-legged stirrups for given value of shear per unit depth; Design column interaction diagrams. • Steel Properties: Area of group of reinforcing standard bars; Number of standard reinforcing bars for the given area; Areas of bars in reinforcement mesh, e.g., slab reinforcement; Perimeter of group of reinforcing bars; Area, perimeter, mass and mass of steel for specified spacing of bars.ISBN-- 9788120330481
