 Structural distress in buildings in most cases is caused due to incorrect layout of Enlorcement and not inaccurate analysis or design. This absolutely practice-oriented Book presents a complete insight into the art of detailing of reinforcement in concrete structures. In a very reader-friendly manner, it discusses the reinforcement layouts for diflerent cases using examples of good and poor detailing practice. THE BOOK FEATURES Detailing aspects of beams, slabs, flat slabs, columns, staircases and concrete hinges Multistoreyed structures, box girders, earthquake resistant design and design for torsion An integrated approach to detailing of reinforcement by developing strut-tie models to identify the regions of tensile stresses in structural elements Load path method to trace flow of forces in structures subject to a given loading with typical examples Bar placement, archorage, curtailment of reinforcement, concrete cover and splicing of reinforcement bar This unique book will be an excellent companion for practising engineers and an Jvaluable reference for engineering students.
