Features: This textbook is divided into three volumes: Upper, Middle, and Lower.
- The Upper Volume focuses on the Principles of Concrete Structure Design, primarily covering fundamental theories and basic components.
- The Middle Volume covers the design of Concrete and Masonry Structures, including floor slabs, single-story workshops, multi-story frames, and high-rise buildings.
- The Lower Volume is dedicated to the design of highway bridges and other structures.
The Upper Volume consists of 10 chapters, primarily written in accordance with the newly revised Code for Design of Concrete Structures GB50010—2002. The content includes:
Introduction, Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete Structure Materials, Limit State Design Method Based on Probability Theory, Flexure Capacity of Beam Sections, Shear Capacity of Beam Sections, Compressive Capacity of Compression Members, Tensile Capacity of Tension Members, Torsional Capacity of Torsion Members, Deformation, Cracks, and Durability of Reinforced Concrete Members, and Prestressed Concrete Members.
This textbook can serve as a foundational course for undergraduate civil engineering majors and is also a valuable reference for professionals engaged in concrete structure design, production, and construction.
