This book explains behavioral aspects of Reinforced Concrete (RCC) structures along with brief research to understand the codal recommendations in different countries. Related issues of RCC design are also discussed and these are supplemented by numerical/design examples and fundamental review questions in each chapter. The subject matter in this book also critically discusses the considerations for non-elastic behavior in design procedures to accommodate design objectives. A comparison of design methodology and output as per IS, BS, EURO and ACI Codes is also included.

Features:

• Covers the basic behavioral aspects of reinforced concrete structures
• Includes design examples to understand the theoretical concepts of different modules
• Discusses considerations for non-elastic behavior for making simple design procedures to accommodate design objectives within codal provisions
• Provides the basic insights necessary for effective development of a design
• Includes a number of design examples along with working drawings

This book is aimed at researchers; professionals; graduate students in RCC structures, civil and infrastructure engineering; and those involved in project execution and consultancy firms.
