First and second editions (1981 and 1992 respectively) written by R.D. Anchor.

This edition covers the latest changes in UK and international practice, and the design methods described refer to British Standards 8007, 8110 and 8102 as well as US standards (including ACI codes). Reference is also made to the recent Australian standard AS 3735-1991.

Offers design tables that assist the design process and save time. This book provides calculations of minimum reinforcement, crack spacing, and crack widths in relation to temperature and moisture effects. It also provides calculations of crack widths in mature concrete under structural loading.

A new edition of a successful engineering text that provides an interpretation of the more theoretical guidance given in the new suite of Eurocodes for the subject of retaining structures.

Based on the latest version of designing codes both for buildings and bridges (GB50010-2010 and JTG D62-2004), this book starts from steel and concrete materials, whose properties are very important to the mechanical behavior of concrete structural members. Step by step, analysis of reinforced and prestressed concrete members under basic loading types (tension, compression, flexure, shearing and torsion) and environmental actions are introduced. The characteristic of the book that distinguishes it from other textbooks on concrete structures is that more emphasis has been laid on the basic theories of reinforced concrete and the application of the basic theories in design of new structures and analysis of existing structures. Examples and problems in each chapter are carefully designed to cover every important knowledge point. As a basic course for undergraduates majoring in civil engineering, this course is different from either the previously learnt mechanics courses or the design courses to be learnt. Compared with mechanics courses, the basic theories of reinforced concrete structures cannot be solely derived by theoretical analysis. And compared with design courses, this course emphasizes the introduction of basic theories rather than simply being a translation of design specifications. The book will focus on both the theoretical derivations and the engineering practices.
