The book, in its second edition, is lecture-based, with each chapter discussing only one topic, and an in-depth coverage being given to the fundamentals. The new edition is incorporated with the summary of elementary design of reinforced concrete members as an Appendix for a quick evaluation of the approximate quantities of steel required in ordinary buildings.
