Design Of Reinforced Concrete Structures

by N. Subramanian

Designed to meet the needs of students aspiring to enroll into the undergraduate civil and structural engineering programs, Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures has been proven to be useful for postgraduate students as well as an indispensable reference for practicing engineers and researchers. The contents of the book cover areas such as concrete properties, structural elemental designs, including compression and tension members, beams and slabs and flexure designing, shear torsion, uni-axial and biaxial bending and interaction between such forces. With every chapter featuring solved examples, review questions, practice questions, along with abundant illustrations accompanying concise texts, an enormous list of appendices on strut-and-tie-method, soil properties, along with practical tips and tricks bundle up the richness of the contents in the book. Sections on chemical admixtures, water, mineral admixtures, cement hydration, concrete types, sifcon and simcon, ferrocement, steel reinforcing, corrosion of rebars, cube and cylinder tests and a lot more are included in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 covers sections such as floor and roof systems, basic structural elements and other such related studies. The contents of the book are all in accordance with the current Indian code of practice (IS 456: 2000). Where some of the provisions are outdated, they are replaced with the American code provisions. Written by N. Subramanian, the book was published by OUP India in 2014 and is available in paperback. Key Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures contains engaging Illustrations with concise texts. Contents of the book adhere with the current Indian Code of Practice.

[Karandeep · Rating 5 out of 5]

For a layman this book is too technical and why the 5 rating coz it's not for a layman and yet I managed to pick up what I was looking for.
If you have no civil background this book will overwhelm you and you'll be lost in the first few pages of symbols wondering why they even exist and how are you to remember them.
This book is the basics of how to project and calculate what beams, columns, slabs or anything remotely related to construction can do.

I picked it up to add an explanation to a field I ended up in by chance and had no way out. This book gives you the right guidance.

Again, for a layman this book gets too technical when you progress to important part of construction. So you've got to go primary to come here.
