Concrete made using mineral cements, the raw materials which on earth are practically endless, is known as one of the oldest building materials and during the last decades of the twentieth century has become a dominant building material for general use. At the same time, the requirements of the quality of concrete and its performance properties, in particular compressive strength, durability, economical efficiency, and low negative impact of its manufacture on the environment have not yet been completely met. Bearing these requirements in mind, researchers and engineers worldwide are working on how to satisfy these requirements. This book has been written by researchers and experts in the field and provides the state of the art on recent progress achieved on the properties of concrete, including concrete in which industrial by-products are utilized. The book is dedicated to graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers in related fields.

"The text presents the basic mechanics of structural concrete and methods for the design of individual members subjected to bending, shear, torsion, and axial forces. It additionally addresses in detail applications of the various types of structural members and systems, including an extensive presentation of slabs, beams, columns, walls, footings, retaining walls, and the integration of building systems" [Publisher]

Reinventing concrete construction with textile-reinforced concrete, this innovative composite material allows engineers new possibilities for filigree, yet durable constructions in concrete. This work of research examines the bond behaviour of this new composite material, and in particular, the cause of longitudinal cracks which can occur in the textile-reinforcement layer of this concrete. Experimental and numeric examinations show that the magnitude of the splitting tensile forces, which lead to the aforementioned cracking, is largely dependent on the geometry of the individual fibre strands. In order to characterise the fibre strands, geometrical parameters were introduced, which were assigned to Laser Scans of textile reinforcements. Based on the evidence collected, a mechanical model, in which the input parameters are of geometric nature, was presented allowing calculation of the splitting tensile force. This method has made it possible to better understand the bond behaviour of textile reinforcements in concrete and has progressed the effort to establish this new material in construction.

"This concrete structural design and analysis textbook has been a go-to resource for structural engineering students and professionals for over twenty years. Newly updated to reflect the latest ACI 318-19 code, this seventh edition emphasizes student comprehension by presenting design methods alongside relevant codes and standards. Numerous examples and practice problems guide students through the analysis and design of each type of structural member, and all examples are presented using SI units and US-SI conversion factors. New to this edition are code provisions for transverse reinforcement and shear in wide beams, hanger reinforcement, and bi-directional interaction of one-way shear. This seventh edition also includes the latest information on two-way shear strength, ordinary walls, seismic loads, reinforcement detailing and analysis, and materials requirements. Instructors have access to a solutions manual via the book's companion website" [Publisher]
