Unified Theory of Concrete Structures

Unified Theory of Concrete Structures develops an integrated theory that encompasses the various stress states experienced by both RC finite element program SCS along with instructions and examples Offers comprehensive coverage of content ranging from fundamentals of flexure, shear and torsion all the way to non-linear finite element analysis and design of wall-type structures under earthquake loading. Authored by world-leading experts on torsion and shear
