Concrete Structures (Second Edition, Volume 1) is a revision of the first edition by the author, based on the Code for Design of Concrete Structures (GB50010—2002) and the Code for Load Design of Building Structures (GB50009—2001). The book covers the following content: material properties of steel and concrete; basic load-bearing performance of reinforced concrete members; structural design methods; load-bearing capacity calculations for bending, compression, tension, and torsion members; verification of deformation and cracks in serviceability stages; principles, load-bearing performance analysis, and design of prestressed concrete members.
The book emphasizes conceptual explanations, highlights key points, and provides in-depth explanations of fundamental theories and methods. Each chapter includes a sufficient number of examples to help readers grasp concepts and calculation methods. At the end of each chapter, there are a certain number of thought questions and exercises. At the end of the book, there is a collection of examination questions from Tsinghua University's Concrete Structures course to facilitate self-assessment and check learning outcomes. Additionally, the book is accompanied by a teaching CD-ROM for reference by university teachers and students.
This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in civil engineering and architecture-related fields and can also be used as a reference book for civil engineering researchers and technicians.
