Concrete Design

An exploration of the world of concrete as it applies to the construction of buildings, Reinforced Concrete Design of Tall Buildings provides a practical perspective on all aspects of reinforced concrete used in the design of structures, with particular focus on tall and ultra-tall buildings.

Reinforced Concrete Design provides a straightforward and practical introduction to the principles and methods used in the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Fully revised and updated to conform to the final version of the new Eurocode 2, students and practitioners alike will find it a concise guide both to the basic theory and to design procedures. Appropriate design charts, tables and formulae are included as design aids and, for ease of reference, an appendix contains a summary of important design information.

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.
