His areas of expertise include structural safety, finite element analysis with a strong background in ACI code applications and spreadsheet-based solutions. Prof. Mohammed Arafa brings both depth and clarity to complex design topics.

Klappentext

This undergraduate textbook presents a comprehensive guide to the design of reinforced concrete structures in accordance with the latest edition of the American Concrete Institute code, ACI 318-25, and adopting SI units throughout. It combines fundamental theory with practical design methodology, using clear language, a logical structure, and code-based calculation procedures. As well as the core topics it includes chapters on torsion, serviceability, and staircases. It features over seventy fully worked examples, detailed reinforcement layouts consistent with ACI provisions, and end-of-chapter problems and learning outcomes. It highlights current code provisions, best practices in detailing, and design compliance.
