Infos

This book is focused on the theoretical and practical design of
reinforced concrete beams, columns and frame structures. It is
based on an analytical approach of designing normal reinforced
concrete structural elements that are compatible with most
international design rules, including for instance the European
design rules - Eurocode 2 - for reinforced concrete
structures. The book tries to distinguish between what belongs to
the structural design philosophy of such structural elements
(related to strength of materials arguments) and what belongs to
the design rule aspects associated with specific characteristic
data (for the material or loading parameters). A previous book,
entitled Reinforced Concrete Beams, Columns and Frames -
Mechanics and Design, deals with the fundamental aspects of the
mechanics and design of reinforced concrete in general, both
related to the Serviceability Limit State (SLS) and the Ultimate
Limit State (ULS), whereas the current book deals with more
advanced ULS aspects, along with instability and second-order
analysis aspects. Some recent research results including the use of
non-local mechanics are also presented. This book is aimed at
Masters-level students, engineers, researchers and teachers in the
field of reinforced concrete design. Most of the books in this area
are very practical or code-oriented, whereas this book is more
theoretically based, using rigorous mathematics and mechanics
tools.

Contents

1. Advanced Design at Ultimate Limit State (ULS).

2. Slender Compression Members - Mechanics and Design.

3. Approximate Analysis Methods.

Appendix 1. Cardano's Method.

Appendix 2. Steel Reinforcement Table.

About the Authors

Jostein Hellesland has been Professor of Structural Mechanics at
the University of Oslo, Norway since January 1988. His contribution
to the field of stability has been recognized and magnified by many
high-quality papers in famous international journals such as
Engineering Structures, Thin-Walled Structures, Journal of
Constructional Steel Research and Journal of Structural
Engineering.

Noël Challamel is Professor in Civil Engineering at UBS,
University of South Brittany in France and chairman of the EMI-ASCE
Stability committee. His contributions mainly concern the dynamics,
stability and inelastic behavior of structural components, with
special emphasis on Continuum Damage Mechanics (more than 70
publications in International peer-reviewed journals).

Charles Casandjian was formerly Associate Professor at INSA (French
National Institute of Applied Sciences), Rennes, France and the
chairman of the course on reinforced concrete design. He has
published work on the mechanics of concrete and is also involved in
creating a web experience for teaching reinforced concrete design
- BA-CORTEX.

Christophe Lanos is Professor in Civil Engineering at the
University of Rennes 1 in France. He has mainly published work on
the mechanics of concrete, as well as other related subjects. He is
also involved in creating a web experience for teaching reinforced
concrete design - BA-CORTEX.
