Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams

the long version

Reinforced concrete deep beams are increasingly used as essential components in the construction of tall buildings, offshore structures, and complex foundation systems throughout the world. Country-specific codes do not yet cover deep beams, and therefore it is anticipated that this book will become a standard work of reference on the subject. The contents of the book have been chosen with the following main aims: to review the present coverage of the major design codes and the CIRIA guide, and to explain the fundamental behaviour of deep beams; to provide information on design topics which are inadequately covered by the current codes and design manuals; and to give authoritative reviews of some powerful concepts and techniques for the design and analysis of deep beams.
