Design of Prestressed Concrete [MF]

Design of Prestressed Concrete


The design of structures in general, and prestressed concrete structures in particular, requires considerably more information than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. The aim of this book is to present a detailed description and explanation of the behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures both at service loads and at ultimate loads and, in doing so, provide a comprehensive guide to design. The design criteria and procedures contained in several major building codes, including ACI 318–83, BS 8110:1985, and AS 3600–1988, are also presented.
Each aspect of the analysis and design of fully prestressed and partially prestressed concrete members is approached from first principles and illustrated by numerous worked
examples. The text is written for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil and structural engineering, and also for practising structural engineers.

Manual for the design of reinforced concrete building structure 2002 [MF]

Manual for the design of reinforced concrete building structure 2002


In 1985 the Institution published its ‘green’ book, the Manual for the design of reinforced concrete building structures, drafted jointly with the ICE.
Written by and for practising designers, in a concise format, it reflects the logical sequence of operations which a designer follows, and was compatible with British standard BS 8110 at that time.
This revised 2nd edition encapsulates changes arising from:
- amendments to BS 8110, which was republished in 1997 and further amended in 2001;
- the publication of BS 8002 for the design of earth retaining structures; and
- the publication of BS 8666, which superseded BS 4466.
All the amendments are signified by a line in the margin.
The general scope of the manual remains unchanged in that it still covers the majority of reinforced concrete buildings.
It continues to offer practical guidance on how to design safe, robust and durable structures
