Concrete Structures Part-II, 2nd Edition

Front Cover
Zahid Ahmad Siddiqi, Feb 22, 2012 - 800 pages

This book is prepared according to the 2011 ACI Code for buildings and AASHTO LRFD Specifications for bridges.  The units used throughout the presentation are the SI units according to the official system of units in Pakistan.  As in Part-I of the same series of books, it is tried that the three main phases of structural design, namely load determination, design calculations and detailing together are introduced to the beginner.  Besides reinforced concrete design, basics of formwork design, plain concrete properties and repair / rehabilitation of concrete structures are also presented.  This book is useful with the 1st part of the same book.  Suggestions for further improvement of the presentation will be highly appreciated and will be incorporated in the future editions.
