Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Detailing is an essential part of the design process. This thorough reference guide for the design of reinforced concrete structures is largely based on Eurocode 2 (EC2), plus other European design standards such as Eurocode 8 (EC8), where appropriate.
With its large format, double-page spread layout, this book systematically details 213 structural elements. These have been carefully selected by José Calavera to cover relevant elements used in practice. Each element is presented with a whole-page annotated model along with commentary and recommendations for the element concerned, as well as a summary of the appropriate Eurocode legislation with reference to further standards and literature. The book also comes with a CD-ROM containing AutoCAD files of all of the models, which can be directly developed and adapted for specific designs.
Its accessible and practical format makes the book an ideal handbook for professional engineers working with reinforced concrete, as well as for students who are training to become designers of concrete structures.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 491-492) and index.

Detailing 210 structural elements, each with a double page spread, this book is an indispensible guide to designing for reinforced concrete. Drawing on Jose Calavera s many years of experience, each entry provides commentary and recommendations for the element concerned, as well as summarizing the appropriate Eurocode legislation and referring to further standards and literature.
