Limit Analysis and Concrete Plasticity

Now in its third edition, this book describes the basic principles of plasticity theory and its application to the design of reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structures. This edition includes formulas for reinforcement design for threedimensional stress fields, describes the theory of rigid-plastic dynamics, contains a heightened explanation of the theory of crack sliding to enable practical applications and to explain punching shear, and explores shear in beams and columns with circular cross sections.
