This book provides an extensive coverage of the design of reinforced
concrete structures in accordance with the current Indian code of
practice (IS 456: 2000). As some of the Indian code provisions are
outdated, the American code provisions are provided, wherever necessary.
In addition, an attempt is made to integrate the provisions of IS 456
with earthquake code (IS 13920), as more than 60% of India falls under
moderate or severe earthquake zones. The text is based on the limit
state approach to design and covers areas such as the properties of
concrete, design of various structural elements such as compression and
tension members, beams & slabs, and design for flexure, shear
torsion, uni-axial and biaxial bending and interaction of these forces.
Each chapter features solved examples, review questions, and practice
problems as well as ample illustrations that supplement the text. An
exhaustive list of references as well as appendices on
strut-and-tie-method, properties of soils, and practical tips add value
to the rich contents of book.
