Presenting a relaxed approach to learning, Understanding Structures provides a basic understanding of how building or bridges resist gravity, wind, or earthquake loads; such understanding is essential for the design and construction of safe structures. This interactive textbook features companion GOYA software, developed by the authors and designed to improve intuitive understanding of structures through repetition, allowing students to solve problems of increasingly complexity with relative ease. Ideal for self-study, the book presents numerous examples, case studies, solved problems, and a...

Encouraging creative uses of reinforced concrete, Principles of Reinforced Concrete Design draws a clear distinction between fundamentals and professional consensus. This text presents a mixture of fundamentals along with practical methods. It provides the fundamental concepts required for designing reinforced concrete (RC) structures, emphasizing principles based on mechanics, experience, and experimentation, while encouraging practitioners to consult their local building codes.
The book presents design choices that fall in line with the boundaries defined...
