Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures

by N. Subramanian

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 As some of the Indian code provisions are outdated, the American code provisions are provided, wherever necessary.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.

[Karandeep · Rating 5 out of 5]

For a layman this book is too technical and why the 5 rating coz it's not for a layman and yet I managed to pick up what I was looking for.
If you have no civil background this book will overwhelm you and you'll be lost in the first few pages of symbols wondering why they even exist and how are you to remember them.
This book is the basics of how to project and calculate what beams, columns, slabs or anything remotely related to construction can do.

I picked it up to add an explanation to a field I ended up in by chance and had no way out. This book gives you the right guidance.

Again, for a layman this book gets too technical when you progress to important part of construction. So you've got to go primary to come here.
