Publisher's Synopsis
The aim of this book is to set out design theory and illustrate the practical applications by the inclusion of many examples. The book is written primarily for students on Civil Engineering degree courses to assist them in understanding the principles of element design and the procedures for the design of concrete buildings.;Analysis and design of very tall buildings has been included in order to give students an appreciation of the way in which these buildings are modelled for computer analyses and the design problems involved. The importance of computers in structural design is recognised and computer programs for design of concrete elements are included.
