Publisher's Synopsis
In 1984, FIP issued its Recommendations on practical design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, based on the CEB-FIP Model Code 1978. This volume applies these Recommendations to eight different worked examples of concrete structures, varying from simple beams to silo construction, flat slab design, incremental launching of bridge structures and other methods of bridge design and construction. These worked examples, each with an explanation of the principles involved and constant references to the relevant sections of the 1984 Recommendations, provide the engineer with an outstanding introduction to modern structural design methods.
