Detailing is an essential part of the design
process. This thorough reference guide for the design of reinforced
concrete structures is largely based on Eurocode 2 (EC2), plus other
European design standards such as Eurocode 8 (EC8), where appropriate. With
its large format, double-page spread layout, this book systematically
details 213 structural elements. These have been carefully selected by
José Calavera to cover relevant elements used in practice. Each element
is presented with a whole-page annotated model along with commentary and
recommendations for the element concerned, as well as a summary of the
appropriate Eurocode legislation with reference to further standards and
literature. The book also comes with a CD-ROM containing AutoCAD files
of all of the models, which can be directly developed and adapted for
specific designs. Its accessible and practical format
makes the book an ideal handbook for professional engineers working with
reinforced concrete, as well as for students who are training to become
designers of concrete structures.
