Structural Design and Drawing: Reinforced Concrete and Steel provides, in SI units, an integrated design approach to various reinforced concrete and steel structures, with particular emphasis on the logical presentation of steps conforming to Indian Standard Codes. Detailed drawings along with carefully chosen examples, many of them from examination papers, greatly facilitate the understanding of the subject. This revised edition conforms to the Indian Standard Code IS:456-2000 which emphasises the importance of Limit State Design. Consequently, the design examples are presented according to the limit state design procedure enshrined in the new code
