OVERVIEW
The latest edition of this book offers elaborate and lucid text - developed and explained from
student’s, teacher’s as well as designer’s viewpoint. It provides complete coverage of the subject
as per the latest codal provisions of IS: 800-2007 and IS: 875 (Part 3)-2015 with detailed discussions
on codal specifications. Numerous worked-out examples with a tutorial approach to problem-solving
assist the reader in grasping of concepts. Every chapter ends with a concise summary that
underlines the important learnings. The book is supplemented with web resources that contain
a chapter on loads, chapter-wise lecture PPTs and solutions manual along with a glossary of
important terms.
