Goods received in well condition

This was given as a gift, and seems to have been greatly appreciated.

well done,

it blew me away. i am really impressed

Great Book!

I hope this review helps:There are 15 chapters in this book and these 15 chapters are as follows: -1) Properties of Reinforced Concrete2) Limit State Design3) Analysis of the Structure4) Analysis of the Section5) Shear, Bond and Torsion6) Serviceability, durability and stability requirements7) Design of Reinforced Concrete Beams8) Design of Reinforced Concrete Slabs9) Column Design10) Foundations11) Water-Retaining Structures and Retaining Walls12) Prestressed Concrete13) Composite ConstructionThis design of concrete structural elements in this textbook is based on the British Standard, BS 8110: 1997 (and not the older 1985 one).Chapter 1 to Chapter 3 are some introductory stuff. The section on Properties of Reinforced Concrete for instance described why it is advantageous to adopt concrete and steel, the stress/strain properties of concrete & steel, etc. In Chapter 2, the limit states (ultimate and serviceability) were presented. A discussion on characteristic material strengths, characteristic loads, partial safety factor (materials & loads) follows. In Chapter 3, the author presented some methods of structural analysis. Moment distribution (for continuous beams and frames) and the cantilever method were discussed. A short section on shear walls and also moment redistribution is finally presented in Chapter 3.Number of PagesThe total number of pages in this book is 385 (including references, index, etc.)PhotosThere are no real life photos in this textbook.DiagramsThere is extensive use of line diagrams in this book.DraftingThere is no exclusive chapter on engineering drafting / drawing. However, in certain parts of the text, there is a discussion on the topic, Anchorage Bond and Curtailment of Rebars and in this chapter, the author presented the Simplified Rules for Curtailment of Bars in Beams (similar to the code of practice).ExamplesFrom my observation, there is at most one example for each topic discussed. For instance, when the author discussed ribbed slabs, he would then present an example on ribbed slab. When the author discussed the topic on waffle slabs, another example would follow, etc.BeamsIn chapter 7, the author presented the design and analysis of beams. Beams that require / do not require compression reinforcements are discussed. Beams that are subjected to moment redistribution are also discussed in this chapter. The designs of shear links and also bent-up bars are also presented. A section on cantilever beams and also corbels is also in this chapter. Finally, beams subjected to torsion are also discussed.SlabsIn chapter 8, the author presented the design and analysis of slabs. The slabs that were discussed in this chapter are one-way slab, two-way slab, flat slabs, ribbed slabs, waffle slabs and hollow block floors together with an appropriate example. Punching shear analysis and design is also discussed in this chapter with an example.There is a small section on the design of stairs in this chapter and an example of the design of a stairs spanning longitudinally is presented.At the end of this chapter, the Yield Line & Strip Method and Hillerborg Strip Method are presented.FoundationsThe author presented with calculation examples of pad footing, combined footing, strip footing and the design of pile cap. Strap footing and raft foundations are also discussed.

I had the original edition of this book which covered the requirements of CP110 . It was a very useful and concise text . This 5th edition follows on and is more comprehensive and covers additional elements of structure in accordance with BS8110 . It is a very good text and well worth the money . I recommend this book for those who do not have confidence , or get confused with the Euro Codes .

This book is awesome! If you need to understand the basics and and also require more information on advanced topics, this is the book. As the title suggests, this book is dedicated to the topic in question and without doubt, this book provides the relevant information for beginners to practising engineers the source/information to produce calculations to Eurocodes with confidence. If you need a clear and comprehensive reference to Eurocode 2, get this book.

The delivery was quick, and despite that the book was used, it looks absolutely new.Also, this book is great for concrete design calculations for students on civil engineering course.

very good book

Good for its purpose.
