This book is focused on the theoretical and practical design ofreinforced concrete beams, columns and frame structures. It isbased on an analytical approach of designing normal reinforcedconcrete structural elements that are compatible with mostinternational design rules, including for instance the Europeandesign rules - Eurocode 2 - for reinforced concretestructures. The book tries to distinguish between what belongs tothe structural design philosophy of such structural elements(related to strength of materials arguments) and what belongs tothe design rule aspects associated with specific characteristicdata (for the material or loading parameters). A previous book,entitled Reinforced Concrete Beams, Columns and Frames -Mechanics and Design, deals with the fundamental aspects of themechanics and design of reinforced concrete in general, bothrelated to the Serviceability Limit State (SLS) and the UltimateLimit State (ULS), whereas the current book deals with moreadvanced ULS aspects, along with instability and second-orderanalysis aspects. Some recent research results including the use ofnon-local mechanics are also presented. This book is aimed atMasters-level students, engineers, researchers and teachers in thefield of reinforced concrete design. Most of the books in this areaare very practical or code-oriented, whereas this book is moretheoretically based, using rigorous mathematics and mechanicstools.
Contents
1. Advanced Design at Ultimate Limit State (ULS).
2. Slender Compression Members - Mechanics and Design.
3. Approximate Analysis Methods.
Appendix 1. Cardano's Method.
Appendix 2. Steel Reinforcement Table.
About the Authors
Jostein Hellesland has been Professor of Structural Mechanics atthe University of Oslo, Norway since January 1988. His contributionto the field of stability has been recognized and magnified by manyhigh-quality papers in famous international journals such asEngineering Structures, Thin-Walled Structures, Journal ofConstructional Steel Research and Journal of StructuralEngineering.
Noël Challamel is Professor in Civil Engineering at UBS,University of South Brittany in France and chairman of the EMI-ASCEStability committee. His contributions mainly concern the dynamics,stability and inelastic behavior of structural components, withspecial emphasis on Continuum Damage Mechanics (more than 70publications in International peer-reviewed journals).
Charles Casandjian was formerly Associate Professor at INSA (FrenchNational Institute of Applied Sciences), Rennes, France and thechairman of the course on reinforced concrete design. He haspublished work on the mechanics of concrete and is also involved increating a web experience for teaching reinforced concrete design- BA-CORTEX.
Christophe Lanos is Professor in Civil Engineering at theUniversity of Rennes 1 in France. He has mainly published work onthe mechanics of concrete, as well as other related subjects. He isalso involved in creating a web experience for teaching reinforcedconcrete design - BA-CORTEX.
