Reinforced concrete [Book] : Handbook for building design limit state & working stress methods of design

This handbook on reinforced concrete building design is an outcome of senior author`s wide experience over four decades of teaching in various universities in india and abroad. This book is unique in presentation as it provides tables for design of slabs. columns and footings. with minimum computations. thus saving considerable amount of time in the design of buildings. Limit state method of design is used in the preparation of the tables. Alternate to this approach. working stress method of design of structural elements of buildings is also presented. This handbook is useful forthe undergraduate students in preparing project works involving buildings. Equally useful to final year projects and structural design and drawing courses where open book examinations are conducted. The design tables provided in the book will save lot of time in the examination enabling the student to complete the exercise in a short time. Structural engineers in the design offices will find it extremely useful in completing the project in a short time.Thus the design fees will be very competitive. as saving in time is saving in money.
