Title overview

Reinforced Concrete Basics: Analysis and Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures provides a practical, introduction to reinforced concrete design for civil and structural engineering students and professionals.

Aligned with the Australian Concrete Structures Standard (AS 3600), the text reflects current industry practices, including developments in high‑strength concrete and reinforcing steel. It supports learners in developing a solid understanding of both the analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures, preparing them to apply theory in real‑world engineering contexts. 

Structured around a fundamentals-first approach, the text guides readers through key concepts before progressing to the design of structural elements such as beams, slabs, columns, and walls, as well as complete systems including building frames and continuous girders. 

Designed to build confidence and technical capability, it enables students to develop the skills required to undertake reinforced concrete design with accuracy and confidence across a range of standards and applications.

Available as a VitalSource eBook with instant access, students can use digital study functionality to search for key concepts, make highlights and notes, and read on any device.
