Advanced Reinforced Concrete Design is the comprehensively rewritten and thoroughly revised edition of the popular title which incorporates the latest developments in the field of structural design of various types of reinforced concrete structural elements conforming to the latest Indian (IS:456-2000), British (BSEN:1992-1-1-2004) and American (ACI:318M-2011) codes of practice. A brief historical review along with the basic principles and philosophy of elastic and limit state designs are included. The major improvements incorporated in this edition include the design and constructional aspects of large capacity storage structures like bins using dome technology and detailed design procedure for reinforced concrete column brackets or corbels. The introduction to each of the chapters with copious references along with additional design examples will immensely help the students. The assignment compiled at the end of each chapter will prove useful to the students as well as the teachers and examiners. The review and objective type questions are intended to test the deeper understanding of the subject by the readers and will also help them in preparing for competitive examinations.
