Mechanics of Reinforced Concrete

544 Pages 43 Color & 263 B/W Illustrations
by CRC Press

This provides a practical foundation in the mechanical behaviour of reinforced concrete for advanced structural engineering students and practitioners. It examines RC at multiple scales, introducing strain and slip based material behaviour which can then simulate the mechanisms that control cracking and crushing. These are then applied to beam segments, explaining member deformation, crack width,... Read more
