This book, first published in 1983, has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the latest developments in Reinforced Concrete. There is more focus on the concepts and mechanics, learning activities through more explanations and examples, and learning assignments through more exercises. The intricacies of limit state design have been explained with the help of detailed explanations, numerous diagrams, and examples. Based on the current IS 456, IS 1343, IRC 112, IS 3370, IS 10262, IS 13920, and other relevant codes
Features –
1. Exhaustive coverage of concepts and mechanics behind limit state design of different structural members
2. New!

About the Author -
Dr Ashok K. Jain is a former Professor of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (Formerly University of Roorkee), obtained B.E. and M.E. degrees with Honours from the University of Roorkee in 1972 and 1974, and doctorate degree from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1978.
He has over 40 years of experience in exploring the behaviour of plain concrete, reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete, from lecture room to laboratory to design project to site inspections and investigations. He has designed numerous buildings, water tanks, STPs, bridges, retaining walls, and blast resistant structures.
He has also investigated failure of many RC structures under normal and earthquake situations. He has conducted extensive research on non-linear analysis of buildings and bridges. A recipient of several awards, he has been a Research Fellow at the University of Michigan; a Visiting Professor at the McGill University, Montreal; Director, Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur, and Head of Civil Engineering Department, I.I.T. Roorkee.
Prof. Jain embodies a unique combination of teaching, research, design consultancy, as well as a mentor and a philanthropist.
