Description

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials, and understanding its behavior is crucial for safe design. This book provides a comprehensive guide to concrete structures, discussing fundamental material properties, reinforcement techniques, and load-bearing capacity. Topics include shear and flexural strength, deflection control, and durability considerations. The book also covers advances in concrete technology, including high-strength concrete, fiber-reinforced composites, and self-healing materials. Real-world case studies highlight the application of design principles in various structures, from skyscrapers to bridges. With step-by-step design examples, practical guidelines, and modern computational tools, this book is an essential reference for civil engineers, architects, and students working with concrete structures.
