Book Description
The development of reinforced and prestressed concrete during the last 50 years was highly promoted by the ”Comité Euro-international du Béton (CEB)“ and the ”Fédération Internationale de la Précontrainte (FIP)“. In 1998 these two associations merged, forming the ”Fédération Internationale du Béton (fib)“. The results of CEB and FIP had been distributed in different ways, such as 'CEB Bulletins d'Information', FIP–Reports, FIP–Notes and CEB–News. These Bulletins or reports comprised various kinds of information, such as State-of-the-Art-Reports, Research Reports, Application Manuals, Guides to Good Practice and the CEB/FIP Model Codes 1978 and 1990. These Model Codes provided design principles and application rules to the structural engineering profession and have been predominantly used for code drafting by many national and international standardizing bodies. The Textbook on Structural Concrete is now intended to provide background information and justification especially for the CEB/FIP Model Code 90 and in some fields of recently extended knowledge. It is addressed to advanced students: this means that basic information on structural analysis and behaviour of structural concrete is a required prerequisite. Practising structural engineers may utilize it for gaining background information on the CEB/FIP Model Code 90 (and national or regional codes as for ex. EUROCODE 2, based on MC 90). The Textbook is also conceived to assist teachers at technical universities or engineering schools to achieve better understanding of the recent theories on structural concrete. Having these targets in mind the General Assembly of CEB decided already in 1995 to set-up a Special Activity Group ”Dissemination of Knowledge“ to realise that work. The authors invited to draft the different chapters had been mostly involved already in drafting the Model Code 90. In this way consistent information could be provided, both for the code and the textbook. Each chapter has been thoroughly discussed and commented within the Special Activity Group 2. This textbook was first presented to fib members during the Technical Activity Workshop in October 1999 in Prague, held in connection with the first fib symposium. The authors are looking forward to receiving comments from various corners.

Book Description
This revised, fully updated second edition covers the analysis, design, and construction of reinforced concrete structures from a real-world perspective. It examines different reinforced concrete elements such as slabs, beams, columns, foundations, basement and retaining walls and pre-stressed concrete incorporating the most up-to-date edition of the American Concrete Institute Code (ACI 318-14) requirements for the design of concrete structures. It includes a chapter on metric system in reinforced concrete design and construction. A new chapter on the design of formworks has been added which is of great value to students in the construction engineering programs along with practicing engineers and architects. This second edition also includes a new appendix with color images illustrating various concrete construction practices, and well-designed buildings. The ACI 318-14 constitutes the most extensive reorganization of the code in the past 40 years. References to the various sections of the ACI 318-14 are provided throughout the book to facilitate its use by students and professionals. Aimed at architecture, building construction, and undergraduate engineering students, the scope of concepts in this volume emphasize simplified and practical methods in the analysis and design of reinforced concrete. This is distinct from advanced, graduate engineering texts, where treatment of the subject centers around the theoretical and mathematical aspects of design. As in the first edition, this book adopts a step-by-step approach to solving analysis and design problems in reinforced concrete. Using a highly graphical and interactive approach in its use of detailed images and self-experimentation exercises, “Concrete Structures, Second Edition,” is tailored to the most practical questions and fundamental concepts of design of structures in reinforced concrete. The text stands as an ideal learning resource for civil engineering, building construction, and architecture students as well as a valuable reference for concrete structural design professionals in practice.

Book Description
The third edition of the Structural Concrete Textbook is an extensive revision that reflects advances in knowledge and technology over the past decade. It was prepared in the intermediate period from the CEP-FIP Model Code 1990 (MC90) tofib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 (MC2010), and as such incorporates a significant amount of information that has been already finalized for MC2010, while keeping some material from MC90 that was not yet modified considerably. The objective of the textbook is to give detailed information on a wide range of concrete engineering from selection of appropriate structural system and also materials, through design and execution and finally behaviour in use. The revised fib Structural Concrete Textbook covers the following main topics: phases of design process, conceptual design, short and long term properties of conventional concrete (including creep, shrinkage, fatigue and temperature influences), special types of concretes (such as self compacting concrete, architectural concrete, fibre reinforced concrete, high and ultra high performance concrete), properties of reinforcing and prestressing materials, bond, tension stiffening, moment-curvature, confining effect, dowel action, aggregate interlock; structural analysis (with or without time dependent effects), definition of limit states, control of cracking and deformations, design for moment, shear or torsion, buckling, fatigue, anchorages, splices, detailing; design for durability (including service life design aspects, deterioration mechanisms, modelling of deterioration mechanisms, environmental influences, influences of design and execution on durability); fire design (including changes in material and structural properties, spalling, degree of deterioration), member design (linear members and slabs with reinforcement layout, deep beams); management, assessment, maintenance, repair (including, conservation strategies, risk management, types of interventions) as well as aspects of execution (quality assurance), formwork and curing. The updated textbook provides the basics of material and structural behaviour and the fundamental knowledge needed for the design, assessment or retrofitting of concrete structures. It will be essential reading material for graduate students in the field of structural concrete, and also assist designers and consultants in understanding the background to the rules they apply in their practice. Furthermore, it should prove particularly valuable to users of the new editions of Eurocode 2 for concrete buildings, bridges and container structures, which are based only partly on MC90 and partly on more recent knowledge which was not included in the 1999 edition of the textbook.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...first three-hinged concrete arch bridge hitherto constructed in the United States, and also of being the flattest semi-elliptical arch ever built. It is a plain concrete arch without longitudinal reinforcement, with a rise of less than one-tenth of the span, and has steel hinges at the crown and the haunches to take up any arch ring movements. The care bestowed on the design of the structure was clearly shown at the time when the centres were struck, by the almost entire absence of deflection. The last upright posts in the centering were knocked out almost as easily as the first that were removed, thereby proving that the arch had taken all its own strains before the centres were struck. This is quite exceptional in a concrete arch where the falsework is removed in cold weather, as in this case, because the concrete is then in its extreme contraction. In this bridge the deflection at the crown was only 005 in. greater than was computed for temperature variations, shrinkage of the concrete due to setting in air, and the shortening due to axial compression. The concrete--composed of Portland cement, silicious lake sand in the proportions of 1; J: 5, and crushed stone--was very carefully mixed, promptly placed in the moulds and thoroughly tamped in place. The Pedlar River Concrete Block Dam, Lynchburg Water Works: contains a full account of the dam under construction in connection with a new water supply of about 8,000,000 galls, of water daily for Lynchburg, Va. The dam, which is being built acro the Pedlar River, is about 500 ft. long on the crest and has a maximum height of 73 ft. 6 in. The concrete work is of special character in the respect that it consists of rec tangular blocks mot Ided in position, with dimensions varying from...

Excerpt from Reinforced Concrete Construction, Vol. 1: The University of Wisconsin This volume forms the first part of the regular course on Reinforced Concrete Construction offered by the Extension Division of The University of Wisconsin and, in common with a number of the other structural engineering courses offered, presupposes a knowledge of the elements of structures. It has been written primarily to meet the needs of those who desire to take up the study of this subject by correspondence, but the author sees no reason why a text of this nature may not be employed for other purposes. The complete text for the course in Reinforced Concrete Construction is in three volumes: one on the fundamentals, one on the detailed design of retaining walls and buildings, and one on the detailed design of bridges and miscellaneous structures. The present volume on fundamentals omits, for simplicity, the flat-slab type of floor construction-a subject reserved for thorough treatment under the heading of concrete floors in Volume II. The text is intended to be supplemented with such material as is suited to the special needs of the individual student. Information on the subject has been drawn from many sources but it should be stated that the text-books, "Principles of Reinforced Concrete Construction" by Turneaure and Maurer and "Concrete Plain and Reinforced" by Taylor and Thompson have been referred to constantly. ' The author wishes to express his indebtedness to Mr. F. C. Thiessen for his excellent work in preparing the illustrations and for his help with the computations. The photographs of the beam and column tests were kindly lent by Mr. M. 0. Withey, Assistant Professor of Mechanics in The University of Wisconsin.
