Summary : This book is focused on the theoretical and practical design ofreinforced concrete beams, columns and frame structures. It isbased on an analytical approach of designing normal reinforcedconcrete structural elements that are compatible with mostinternational design rules, including for instance the Europeandesign rules – Eurocode 2 – for reinforced concretestructures. The book tries to distinguish between what belongs tothe structural design philosophy of such structural elements(related to strength of materials arguments) and what belongs tothe design rule aspects associated with specific characteristicdata (for the material or loading parameters). Reinforced ConcreteBeams, Columns and Frames – Mechanics and Design deals withthe fundamental aspects of the mechanics and design of reinforcedconcrete in general, both related to the Serviceability Limit State(SLS) and the Ultimate Limit State (ULS). A second book, entitledReinforced Concrete Beams, Columns and Frames – Section andSlender Member Analysis, deals with more advanced ULS aspects,along with instability and second-order analysis aspects. Somerecent research results including the use of non-local mechanicsare also presented. This book is aimed at Masters-level students,engineers, researchers and teachers in the field of reinforcedconcrete design. Most of the books in this area are very practicalor code-oriented, whereas this book is more theoretically based,using rigorous mathematics and mechanics tools. Contents 1. Design at Serviceability Limit State (SLS). 2. Verification at Serviceability Limit State (SLS). 3. Concepts for the Design at Ultimate Limit State (ULS). 4. Bending-Curvature at Ultimate Limit State (ULS). Appendix 1. Cardano’s Method. Appendix 2. Steel Reinforcement Table. About the Authors Charles Casandjian was formerly Associate Professor at INSA(French National Institute of Applied Sciences), Rennes, France andthe chairman of the course on reinforced concrete design. He haspublished work on the mechanics of concrete and is also involved increating a web experience for teaching reinforced concrete design– BA-CORTEX. Noël Challamel is Professor in Civil Engineering at UBS,University of South Brittany in France and chairman of the EMI-ASCEStability committee. His contributions mainly concern the dynamics,stability and inelastic behavior of structural components, withspecial emphasis on Continuum Damage Mechanics (more than 70publications in International peer-reviewed journals). Christophe Lanos is Professor in Civil Engineering at theUniversity of Rennes 1 in France. He has mainly published work onthe mechanics of concrete, as well as other related subjects. He isalso involved in creating a web experience for teaching reinforcedconcrete design – BA-CORTEX. Jostein Hellesland has been Professor of Structural Mechanics atthe University of Oslo, Norway since January 1988. His contributionto the field of stability has been recognized and magnified by manyhigh-quality papers in famous international journals such asEngineering Structures, Thin-Walled Structures, Journal ofConstructional Steel Research and Journal of StructuralEngineering.
