Principles of Reinforced Concrete Design (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The book covers fundamental concepts related to mechanics and direct observation, and those required to design reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Codes change over time depending on factors that have little to do with the fundamental concepts mentioned, and have more to do with the markets, construction practices, and transient academic views. For beginning engineers it is difficult to distinguish between rules based on consensus (codes) and fundamentals. This book focuses on the latter to prepare use and adaptation to the constant changes of the former.

Autorenporträt

Mete A. Sozen, S.E. (IL), a graduate of Bogazici University (Istanbul) and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is the Kettelhut Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. He teaches courses on reinforced concrete and earthquake-resistant design. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. He is an honorary member of the Turkish Society for Engineers and Scientists, the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Concrete Institute, the Architectural Institute of Japan, and the International Association for Earthquake Engineering. Dr. Sozen has been granted honorary degrees by Bogazici University (Turkey), Janus Pannonius University (Hungary), and the Tbilisi Technical University (Georgia). He was included in the Applied Technology Council and the Engineering News-Record lists of the top ten seismic engineers of the 20th century. Dr. Sozen has worked as a consultant with the Veterans Administration, the Department of State, Bechtel, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Consumers Power Co., Electric Power Research Institute, ERICO, Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, SANDIA National Laboratories, U.S. Army Engineering R & D Center in Vicksburg, WJE Engineers, and Westinghouse Savannah River Site. He has worked on design and evaluation of concrete dams with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Gas and Electric Co., and Southern California Edison.

Toshikatsu Ichinose completed his undergraduate education in architectural engineering at Nagoya Institute of Technology and earned graduate degrees at the University of Tokyo. In 1982, he returned to Nagoya Institute of Technology, where he now teaches structural mechanics and reinforced concrete. Dr. Ichinose has been chairing the committee in charge of RC building code of the Architectural Institute of Japan since 2004. He is proud to be a coauthor of Understanding Structures (CRC Press, 2008).

Santiago Pujol is from Medellín, Colombia, where he was first exposed to the reinforced concrete industry by his father, an architect who designed and directed the construction of a number of residential and commercial buildings in the city. He completed his undergraduate education in civil engineering at the School of Mines at the National University of Colombia in 1996. At the time, the School of Mines had a five-year undergraduate program designed after European academic models. Damage caused by earthquakes in Colombia motivated him to earn an MS and PhD from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. Dr. Pujol worked with a forensic firm in San Francisco, California, from 2002 to 2005. During that time, he traveled to Japan and started lasting collaborations with Japanese engineers whose wisdom and attention to proportions and aesthetics have a strong influence on his views. In 2005, he returned to Purdue University, where he currently teaches reinforced concrete and experimental methods and conducts research dealing with the effects of blasts and earthquakes on buildings, and basic questions on the mechanics of concrete structures.
