5th Sem BE Civil Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures | RP Rethaliya | 2027 Edition | Atul Prakashan

The definitive and most widely praised textbook on reinforced cement concrete design for Gujarat’s engineering students! 🏗️📐 Authored by renowned structural engineer and educator Dr. R. P. Rethaliya alongside co-authors Mayur R. Rethaliya and Piyush R. Rethaliya, and published by Gujarat’s premier technical publisher Atul Prakashan, Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures (DRCS) [2027 Edition] bridges fundamental structural mechanics with practical code-based RCC design as per the latest Gujarat Technological University (GTU) curriculum. 🚀

✨ Key Features & Highlights:

• Strict GTU Syllabus & IS Code Alignment: Structured precisely around GTU Semester-V module competencies, with complete derivations and step-by-step design procedures conforming strictly to IS 456:2000 and SP:16 (Design Aids for Reinforced Concrete). 📜

• Philosophy of Structural Design: Clear comparative analysis between Working Stress Method (WSM), Ultimate Load Method, and Limit State Method (LSM) covering characteristic loads, material strengths, and partial safety factors. ⚖️

• Flexural Design of Beams (Limit State of Collapse):

  • Singly reinforced rectangular beams, limiting depth of neutral axis, and moment of resistance equations. 📏

  • Doubly reinforced rectangular beams, necessity of compression steel, and design charts. 🔩

  • Flanged sections (T-beams and L-beams): effective flange width, neutral axis in flange vs. web, and structural design calculations. 🏗️

• Design for Shear, Bond, Anchorage & Torsion: Nominal shear stress, design shear strength of concrete, minimum shear reinforcement, vertical stirrups and bent-up bars, development length ($L_d$), and equivalent bending moment/shear for torsional loading. 🩹

• Design of Slabs & Staircases: One-way simply supported and continuous slabs; two-way slabs with corners held down and free to lift (Rankine-Grashoff and IS code coefficient methods); and design of dog-legged staircases. 🪜

• Axially & Uniaxially Loaded Columns: Short columns with lateral ties and helical reinforcement; interaction diagrams from SP 16; and slender column second-order effects. 🏛️

• Foundation Engineering: Structural design of isolated shallow square and rectangular footings for bending moment, one-way shear, and two-way (punching) shear. 🧱

• Earthquake-Resistant Ductile Detailing (IS 13920): Standard detailing guidelines for longitudinal rebar curtailment, lap lengths, confinement stirrup spacing, and beam-column junction reinforcement. 🛡️

• Exhaustive GTU Numerical & Examination Questions: Packed with step-by-step solved university examples, end-of-chapter review problems, and GTU previous years' examination papers for assured mid-sem and end-sem success. 🏆
