Reviews

PRECAST concrete hardly features at all in most UK undergraduate civil engineering courses, partly because little information is available at appropriate level. This book aims to give lecturers a method of incorporating the subject effectively into their courses. It is very well presented, with clearly laid out examples and numerous line diagrams and photos...the book cannot be bettered. It covers the design process, manufacture and construction of precast concrete in multi-storey buildings, the main topic being materials, frame analysis, floors, beams, column and shear walls, joints, connections and ties. Recommended. CONCRETE ENGINEERING INTERNATIONAL 2003.
