Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures. Volume 3

Cairo University, Second edition, 2008. — 817 р.This third volume covers the following topics:
Arches, Special Types of Frames and Vierendeel.
Deep Beams and Corbels.
Control of Deflections and Cracking.
Design of Shallow and Deep Foundations.
Strut-and-Tie Model.
Prestressed Concrete.Numerous illustrative examples are given, the solution of which has been supplied so as to supplement the theoretical background and to familiarize the reader with the steps involved in actual design problem solving. To ensure the accuracy, all of the examples in this book are solved and verified using EXCEL.The basic objective of this book is to furnish the reader with the basic understanding of the mechanics and design of reinforced concrete. The contents of the book conform to the latest edition of the Egyptian Code for the Design and Construction of Concrete Structures ECP-
203.The book is aimed at two different groups. First, by treating the material in a logical and unified form, it is hoped that it can serve as a useful text for undergraduate and graduate student courses on reinforced concrete. Secondly, as a result of the continuing activity in the design and construction of reinforced concrete structures, it will be of value to practicing structural engineers.
