Structural Design

The book presents a systematic and step-by-step approach to the physical and mechanical properties of concrete, reinforcing steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, and struc­tural steel. The theoretical basis and design principles for reinforced concrete, masonry, and steel structures have been brought in line with new standards which were put in force in the Soviet Union since January, 1977. The material is presented with emphasis on Soviet, practice in highly industrialized precast reinforced concrete, type-design structural elements, and high-strength materials. A good deal of attention is given to special engineering structures for water supply, sewage disposal, and heat supply systems, including tanks, settlers, aeration filters, aeration tanks, water lowers, buried conduits and headers, and heat-pipeline structures. Carefully worked design examples are shown throughout llie hook, and an appendix gives a selection of design charts associated with the basic Soviet codes of practice. Intended as textbook for students of building, civil, and structural engineering, the book will also be of interest to students in other departments and practising engineers.
