Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on the scientific and historical aspects of reinforced concrete. It begins by studying the humble beginnings of concrete in antiquity, tracing its development through the early efforts of French and English engineers to the present day, with special emphasis on the dramatic advances made in the twentieth century. The author's primary focus is on the theoretical and practical applications of reinforced concrete, including the key principles of design and construction. The text is notionally divided into two parts. The first part deals with the 'science' of reinforced concrete, engaging with the chemical and physical properties of materials, their behavior in various environmental conditions, advanced analytical tools, and modern theoretical approaches to design. The second part of the book shifts the focus towards the 'art' of reinforced concrete, delving into aspects including detailing, construction practices, and formwork. This book is an indispensable resource for practising engineers and researchers in structural engineering, as well as students and academics in the field. It offers invaluable insights into the intricate relationship between the scientific principles and practical applications of reinforced concrete, providing a comprehensive examination of this ubiquitous construction material. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
