Reinforced Concrete Structures Vol I

Each chapter begins with clear statements of pertinent definions, design principles and theories, and the design procedures. The basic principles are supplemented with numerous design examples and illustrations, along with detailed drawings.

Various designs are based on latest Indian Standards. The tables or curves giving permissible stresses and/or design coefficients, as well as the basic rules for design, taken from the various Indian Standards are gratefully acknowledged. In spite of every care taken to check the numerical work, some errors may remain, and I shall be obliged for any intimation of these readers may discover.
