Reinforced Concrete Slabs

By Robert L. Park

Book Overview

Provides a thorough review of most of the possible approaches to reinforced concrete slab analysis and design. Includes determination of the distribution of moments and shears using elastic theory; the ''direct design'' and ''equivalent frame'' methods of the American Concrete Institute's building code; limit procedures for ultimate load analysis and slab design using general lower bound theory, the strip method, and yield line theory; behavior of slabs at the service load, deflection, and crack control; shear strength; and the effect of membrane action on slab strength. Provides an introduction to prestressed slabs.
