Book Description:
The authors present accurate and easy-to-apply methods of analysing immediate and long-term stresses and deformations. Comprehensively updated, the third edition of Concrete Structures also four new chapters covering: non-linear analysis of plane frames, design for serviceability of prestressed concrete, serviceability of members reinforced with fibre polymer bars, and the analysis of time-dependent internal forces with linear computer programs that are routinely used by structural designers. A website accompanies the book, featuring three design calculation programs related to stresses in cracked sections, creep coefficients and time-dependent analysis.

Summary: Excellent comperhensive book
Rating: 5
This is an excellent and very comprehensive book that is necessary for any bridge engineer and researcher especially where creep, shrinkage and thermal deformations can result in major forces on the structure. It is also very useful for the design and analysis of prestressed and post-tensioned segmental bridges. The book refers back in many of its examples to both ACI and CEB codes, which makes it unique for design engineers. The book is very well organized; easy to read although requires good knowledge of structural analysis using computers. An excellent book indeed.
Summary: Too terse
Rating: 1
This book is too terse. Contains lots of printing mistakes and not at all user friendly.
