Summary

This presentation of modern and advanced technology in the reinforced concrete industries speaks to the rise in construction of reinforced concrete structures worldwide. Addressing the global focus on research into materials and techniques that enhance quality and reduce cost, this book examines all structural systems presently used worldwide on structures ranging from small buildings to high-rises. It refers to both British Standard (BS) and American specifications (ACI) to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of each system. In addition, it details new materials and the cutting-edge construction methods that implement them, as well as advanced techniques to protect reinforced steel bars within concrete.
