This book focuses on the analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures in conformity with CSA A23.3-04 Canadian standard. Such members are often encountered in engineering practice, particularly in buildings. Using an original approach, the authors present the subject matter as clearly and effectively as possible. Each aspect is carefully illustrated and is the subject of a thorough theoretical development. This is followed by a step-by-step procedure for both design and verification, along with many fully developped numerical applications.

This book is intended for practicing engineers as well as for engineering students. Engineers will find it a valuable and concise reference which complements the standards and other engineering tools for their daily tasks. Students will use it as a textbook on reinforced concrete structures presented in an original and easy-to-use format.
