This best-selling textbook provides a straightforward and practical introduction to the principles and methods used in the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, and has been used and trusted by generations of students. The book contains many worked examples to illustrate the various aspects of design that are presented in the text. Design charts, tables and formulae are included as design aids and, for ease of reference, an appendix contains a summary of important design information.This text is aimed at undergraduates and postgraduates as well as practitioners, both in the UK and elsewhere in the world where Eurocode 2 has been adopted, as a concise guide both to the basic theory and to appropriate design procedures.New to this Edition:- Completely revised to reflect recent experience of the usage of Euro code 2 since its introduction in 2004 and its adoption in the UK as a design standard in 2010- Further examples of the theory put into practice- A new chapter on water retaining structures in accordance with Euro code 2, Part 3- New sections on, for example, design processes including conceptual design, deep beams and an expanded treatment of designing for fire resistanceAccompanying online resources for this title can be found at bloomsburyonlineresources.com/reinforced-concrete-design-7e. These resources are designed to support teaching and learning when using this textbook and are available at no extra cost.

This textbook provides students with an aid to consolidating understanding of the principles and applications of structural mechanics. It is not a standard textbook, but a support for a main course text and/or lecture material. Each chapter begins with a summary of essential theory, important facts, then relevant equations are presented and summarised in a Fact Sheet. This is followed by a series of carefully paced and sequenced worked examples using real exam questions, with additional explanatory notes.  At the end of each chapter there are additional problems with answers given, for further problem-solving practice. The text reinforces knowledge learnt in lectures and through companion textbooks, completes understanding, and helps in preparing for exams.Structural Mechanics: Worked Examples is an ideal companion resource for undergraduate courses in Civil Engineering and Construction. It works well alongside Hulse and Cain’s Structural Mechanics text, but can equally well be used alongside any other introductory textbook.
