• Comments on the presented calculations
• Current standards for design

This book is a valuable source of knowledge for those who want to quickly and effectively learn the basics of reinforced concrete design. The authors avoid unnecessary theorizing, focusing on the practical aspects of calculations. Thanks to this, even people without deep theoretical knowledge can successfully design simple reinforced concrete structures.

The publication contains a complete example of calculations for a four-story office building. The reader will find a detailed discussion of calculations for slabs, beams, columns, and foundation footings. The authors also present issues related to the cooperation of individual structural parts and the assessment of interactions between them. In addition, the book contains comments on the presented calculations, which facilitates understanding and interpretation of the results.

It is worth emphasizing that the book takes into account current design standards, including European standards. Thanks to this, the reader can be sure that the calculation methods used comply with applicable regulations. The authors also draw attention to the differences between simplified and general methods, which allows for a conscious choice of the appropriate calculation method. This book is especially recommended for construction students and experienced designers who want to refresh their knowledge of reinforced concrete structure design. This publication is a practical and up-to-date source of knowledge that will certainly be useful to every civil engineer.

The book has 90 pages and a format of 236x155 mm. It was published in 2015 in paperback by Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN. It is a must-read for every student and civil engineer.
