Preface The extensive use of reinforced concrete for & variety of structural members has necessitated a proper understanding of the design in structural concrete ‘members by the structural engineers. The wide spread use of reinforced con- crete is the natural outcome of the rapid development in the theory and design procedures with the introduction of the philosophy of limit state design The book presents the design ofa variety of reinforced concrete structures like Continuous beams, Portal frames, Silos, Bunkers, Chimneys, Shells Overhead Water tanks, Virendec! girders, Trusses, Deep beams, Box culverts, Folded plates, Hyperbolic cooling towers, Curved girders, Poles, Pipes and Bridge deck systems. The design of these advanced reinforced concrete struc- tures conform to the rovised Indian Standard Code 1S + 456-1978 and S.1 units have been adopted for all the design examples, The topics covered are intended to meet the requiroments of graduate and post graduate curicula of ‘most of the enginesting institutions in India. The book is primarily design oriented with more emphasis on types of design with minimum extent of theory, presented wherever required for application in design, The various design steps are identified and provided in a logical sequence The book is extensively illustrated with working drawings showing the reinforcement details, The examples for practice provided at the end of cach chapter is intended to help the students preparing for university examinations “The references provided at the end of the hook have bccn extensively used in the preparation of the text and are gratefully acknowledged.
