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.
