Essential parameters in the design to the ultimate limit state of resistance such as the percentage of reinforcement and the position of the neutral axis in concrete cross-sections, as well as the control of the maximum stresses in service limit states are provided by these tools.
This book contains auxiliary calculation tools to facilitate the safety assessment of reinforced concrete sections. The comprehensive treatment of the designs, and the variety of structures considered, make this a unique and invaluable work. This book can be used as a stand-alone publication, or as a more detailed companion to Reynolds’s Reinforced Concrete Designer’s Handbook, now in its 11th edition. The calculations are complemented by reinforcement drawings in accordance with the recommendations in the third edition (2006) of the Standard method of detailing structural concrete, with commentaries on the bar arrangements. This applies particularly to the design of the basement, and the tanks bearing on elastic soils, for which specially derived tables are included in appendices to the book. This is followed by worked examples for the following structures: A multi-storey office building with three forms of floor construction A basement to the office building with three types of foundations A free-standing cantilever earth-retaining wall A large underground service reservoir An open-top rectangular tank on an elastic soil An open-top cylindrical tank on an elastic soil In addition to the design of all the elements, the analysis of each structure is fully explained. Chapter 2 describes the principles, requirements and methods used for the design of members. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the Structural Eurocodes, with particular reference to actions on structures. The book caters to students and engineers with little or no practical experience of design, as well as to more experienced engineers who may be unfamiliar with Eurocode 2. Complete and detailed designs of six archetypal building and public utility structures are provided. This practical design guide illustrates through worked examples how Eurocode 2 may be used in practice.
