Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concrete is the “modern” construction material that has helped shape the fundamental static principles of structural load bearing. Similar to masonry, concrete effectively transmits pressure downward, but its weak point is tractive forces. Concrete has also enabled freer use of architectonic forms. This title imparts the basic knowledge every architect needs to master for planning reinforced and non-reinforced concrete construction.

Download or read book Basic Principles of Concrete Structures written by Xianglin Gu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the latest version of designing codes both for buildings and bridges (GB50010-2010 and JTG D62-2004), this book starts from steel and concrete materials, whose properties are very important to the mechanical behavior of concrete structural members. Step by step, analysis of reinforced and prestressed concrete members under basic loading types (tension, compression, flexure, shearing and torsion) and environmental actions are introduced. The characteristic of the book that distinguishes it from other textbooks on concrete structures is that more emphasis has been laid on the basic theories of reinforced concrete and the application of the basic theories in design of new structures and analysis of existing structures. Examples and problems in each chapter are carefully designed to cover every important knowledge point. As a basic course for undergraduates majoring in civil engineering, this course is different from either the previously learnt mechanics courses or the design courses to be learnt. Compared with mechanics courses, the basic theories of reinforced concrete structures cannot be solely derived by theoretical analysis. And compared with design courses, this course emphasizes the introduction of basic theories rather than simply being a translation of design specifications. The book will focus on both the theoretical derivations and the engineering practices.

Download or read book Post Tensioned Concrete Principles and Practice Third Edition written by K. Dirk Bondy and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book combines history with academic notes for use at the university level, presenting design examples from actual jobs with applications and detailing for the practicing engineer. Chapter 1 tells the history of post-tensioned concrete as only Ken Bondy can tell it. Chapters 2-8 are the notes Dirk Bondy uses to teach Design of Prestressed Concrete Structures at UCLA and Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. Chapters 9-13 are design examples that address many of the decisions faced by practicing engineers on typical projects. Chapters 13-14 cover the art of detailing and observing the construction of post-tensioned concrete. This knowledge was obtained over many years of working on our own projects and listening and learning from the the pioneers of post-tensioned concrete. Chapter 15 covers the slab on grade industry, which represents more sales of post-tensioning tendons than all other post-tensioning applications combined. Chapter 16 discusses the challenging application of post-tensioning-external post-tensioning.

Download or read book Reinforced Concrete Basics written by Stephen Foster and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for courses on the Analysis and Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures found in undergraduate Civil and Structural Engineering Departments. This text will also be of use to practising designers. Reinforced Concrete Basics is a book on analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures, starting with the fundamentals followed by the developing of advanced approaches. It contains the material needed for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in reinforced concrete and for practising engineers. In preparing the text, the authors provide an understanding of structural behaviour before undertaking any quantitative analysis. Examples are introduced at an early stage in the development of each topic. Readers can use the examples as exercises to test their understanding as they proceed with their study of the material.

Download or read book Design of Concrete Structures written by Christian Meyer and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introduction to the principles of concrete mechanics and design focuses on the fundamentals - from very basic, elementary to the very complicated concepts and features an easy-to-follow yet thorough step-by-step design methodology. *emphasizes basic principles of the mechanics aspects of concrete design and avoids explanations of the detail requirements which can be found in the ACI Code and Commentary. *surveys modern design philosophies and features an amply illustrated tour of the world of concrete. *carefully lays out the various design procedures step-by-step - for flexural design, shear design, column design, etc, prepares and encourages students to program procedures for computer solution. Instructors, at their own discretion, can suggest follow-up coding assignment. *goes beyond the traditional description of materials to provide substantive coverage of concrete, current concrete technology, and the durability of materials - especially since many engineers will find themselves repairing, rehabilitating, and strengthening existing structures, rather than designing new ones. *explores the interrelationship between design and analysis - a typical problem area for students, especially in relation to statically indeterminate structures, reviews some structural analysis methods for continuous beams and frames, especially those methods that designers will find useful for checking purposes - e.g., moment distribution, explains how the behavior of structures can be controlled through design decisions. *includes sections on basic plate theory and yield line theory as supplements to the common design procedures of the ACI Code. *contains important optional topics that students can master through self-study after understanding the basics such as torsion, slab design, footings, and retaining walls. *includes many easy-to-follow examples worked out in great detail. *contains a large number of illustrations. *features very carefully designed problem sets that require students to think and appreciate various physical aspects of what they are doing. *contains a comprehensive glossary of terms common in concrete engineering and the construction industry. Definitions are based largely on The Cement and Concrete Terminology Report of ACI Committee 116.
