Description

This book systematically explains the basic principles and techniques involved in the design of reinforced concrete structures. It exhaustively covers the first course on the subject at B.E./ B.Tech level.

Important features:

• Exposition is based on the latest Indian standard code IS: 456-2000.
• Limit state method emphasized throughout the book.
• Working stress method also explained.
• Detailing aspects of reinforcement highlighted.
• Incorporates earthquake resistant design.
• Includes a large number of solved examples, practice problems and illustrations.
