Features: Fundamentals of Reinforced Concrete Member Design (2nd Edition) is a textbook for the professional foundational course on concrete structures in the civil engineering discipline. This book primarily introduces the design theory of concrete structures and the stress analysis of reinforced concrete basic members. The entire book consists of 11 chapters, covering the following content:
- The basic properties of reinforced concrete materials and their interactions;
- Design methods for reinforced concrete structures;
- The stress characteristics, failure modes, calculation methods, and design requirements of basic reinforced concrete members under bending, shear, compression, and torsion;
- The deformation and crack calculations for concrete members (primarily bending members);
- The basic concepts of prestressed concrete;
- Additionally, a dedicated chapter on floor slab design is included as a comprehensive application training exercise.
Furthermore, the book specifically introduces the Code for the Design of Highway Reinforced Concrete and Prestressed Concrete Bridges and Culverts (JTGD62—2004), the Code for the Design of Concrete Structures in Port Engineering (JTJ267—98), and the Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318—95) from the American Concrete Institute, to meet the current teaching requirements of the broader civil engineering field.
The content of the book is concise and easy to understand, with an adequate number of calculation examples for each chapter. At the end of each chapter, there are review questions and exercises. Additionally, a bilingual glossary of professional terms (Chinese-English) is provided to facilitate self-study.
This book is suitable for use by teachers and students in universities and colleges majoring in civil engineering, water conservancy, transportation engineering, railway engineering, agriculture, forestry, and related disciplines. It can also serve as a reference for professionals and researchers in related fields.
