Design Of Reinforced Concrete 10th Edition.pdf
Leana Eckes
Design of Reinforced Concrete, 10th Edition by Jack McCormac and Russell Brown, introduces the fundamentals of reinforced concrete design in a clear and comprehensive manner and grounded in the basic principles of mechanics of solids. Students build on their understanding of basic mechanics to learn new concepts such as compressive stress and strain in concrete, while applying current ACI Code.
Jack C. McCormac is Alumni Distinguished Professor o Civil Engineering, Emeritus at Clemson University. He holds a BS in civil engineering from the Citadel, an MS in civil engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a Doctor of Letters from Clemson University. His contributions to engineering education and the engineering profession have been recognized by many, including the American Society for Engineering Education, the American Institute of Steel Construction, and the American Concrete Institute. Professor McCormac was included in the International Who's Who in Engineering, and was named by the Engineering News-Record as one of the top 125 engineers or architects in the world in the last 125 years for his contributions to the construction industry. He was one of only two educators living in the world today to receive this honor. Professor McCormac belongs to the American Society of Civil Engineers and served as the principal civil engineering grader for the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying for many years.
Flexural analysis and design of beam sections are fundamental topics in reinforced concrete structures. However, many engineers and students have difficulty generalizing the basic analysis and design principles into more general and complex cross-sectional shapes other than simple rectangular cross-sections. This article presents the flexural analysis and design of general beam sections in a rigorously derived framework and builds a foundation for their design. Part 1: Section Analysis focuses on the flexural strength calculation (analysis) of any given beam section. Part 2: Section Design focusing on the flexural design aspects of beam sections will run in a future article.
For any beam cross-section, the minimum and maximum areas of reinforcement allowed in a singly reinforced section can be calculated. For a given section size, the corresponding design moment strength values are the minimum and maximum values that can be determined, as shown in Figure 2. These lower and upper bounds define the permitted range of a beam section design based on ACI 318-19.
This edition has been thoroughly revised in accordance with the requirements of BS 8110 (see IRRD 285043-4 and 291435). The principal feature of the book is the collection of 200 full page tables and charts, encompassing all aspects of structural analysis and reinforced concrete design. After a general introduction, safety factors, loads and pressures are discussed. Details are given of the analysis of structures ranging from single span beams and cantilevers to complex framed structures and arches. The materials required for concrete construction are then considered, and information is provided on the relevant standards and codes. The major section of the handbook presents detailed information concerning the design of various types of reinforced concrete elements according to all design methods, and the use of such elements in structures such as bridges, culverts, subways, roads, retaining walls, foundations, piled structures, and other building structures. Advice on the use of desk top computers in the design and analysis of concrete structures is also provided. (TRRL)
