This fourth edition has a new emphasis on designing for serviceability. It has been comprehensively updated. It now includes seventy solved examples and fifty instructive problems with answers given at the end of the book. An accompanying website contains design calculation programs, which require sample data input. Independent of codes of practice, the book is universally applicable, and is especially suitable for practising engineers and graduate students.

Renaud Favre is Emeritus Professor at the Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland. He was formerly a Member of Council and Vice President of fédération internationale du béton (fib). Mamdouh Elbadry is Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Calgary, Canada and a Fellow of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering.

fourth Edition

Concrete Structures

This text presents the most effective analysis for predicting the true stresses and deflections of concrete structures, accounting for creep and shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of prestressed reinforcement. Sustainability has become a major requirement in modern structures, to sustain satisfactory service over a long life. It is not rare to specify a life span of 100 years for infrastructures such as bridges. This complete and wide-ranging study of stresses and deformations of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures focuses on design methods for avoiding excessive deflection and cracking that diminish serviceability.
