Second edition. — Cairo University, 2008. — 412 р.This Volume 1 covers the following topics:Reinforced Concrete Fundamentals
Design of Singly Reinforced Sections
Design of Doubly Reinforced Sections
Design of T-Beams
Design for Shear
Bond and Development length
Design of Simple and Continuous Beams
Truss Models for the Behavior of R/C Beams
Design for Torsion
It also includes appendices containing design aids.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.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.
