This book is focused on the theoretical and practical design of
reinforced concrete beams, columns and frame structures. It is
based on an analytical approach of designing normal reinforced
concrete structural elements that are compatible with most
international design rules, including for instance the European
design rules – Eurocode 2 – for reinforced concrete
structures. The book tries to distinguish between what belongs to
the structural design philosophy of such structural elements
(related to strength of materials arguments) and what belongs to
the design rule aspects associated with specific characteristic
data (for the material or loading parameters). Reinforced Concrete
Beams, Columns and Frames – Mechanics and Design deals with
the fundamental aspects of the mechanics and design of reinforced
concrete in general, both related to the Serviceability Limit State
(SLS) and the Ultimate Limit State (ULS). A second book, entitled
Reinforced Concrete Beams, Columns and Frames – Section and
Slender Member Analysis, deals with more advanced ULS aspects,
along with instability and second-order analysis aspects. Some
recent research results including the use of non-local mechanics
are also presented. This book is aimed at Masters-level students,
engineers, researchers and teachers in the field of reinforced
concrete design. Most of the books in this area are very practical
or code-oriented, whereas this book is more theoretically based,
using rigorous mathematics and mechanics tools.

About the Authors
Charles Casandjian was formerly Associate Professor at INSA
(French National Institute of Applied Sciences), Rennes, France and
the chairman of the course on reinforced concrete design. He has
published work on the mechanics of concrete and is also involved in
creating a web experience for teaching reinforced concrete design
– BA-CORTEX.
Noël Challamel is Professor in Civil Engineering at UBS,
University of South Brittany in France and chairman of the EMI-ASCE
Stability committee. His contributions mainly concern the dynamics,
stability and inelastic behavior of structural components, with
special emphasis on Continuum Damage Mechanics (more than 70
publications in International peer-reviewed journals).
Christophe Lanos is Professor in Civil Engineering at the
University of Rennes 1 in France. He has mainly published work on
the mechanics of concrete, as well as other related subjects. He is
also involved in creating a web experience for teaching reinforced
concrete design – BA-CORTEX.
Jostein Hellesland has been Professor of Structural Mechanics at
the University of Oslo, Norway since January 1988. His contribution
to the field of stability has been recognized and magnified by many
high-quality papers in famous international journals such as
Engineering Structures, Thin-Walled Structures, Journal of
Constructional Steel Research and Journal of Structural
Engineering.
