Manual for the design of reinforced concrete building structures (Second edition)

Important notice: British Standards have been replaced by Eurocodes. While this manual has continued relevance as a reference source for engineers involved in the refurbishment of buildings designed to British Standards, it is neither updated by the Institution, nor recommended as a guide for new design.

The manual was/is intended for use by structural engineers in the preparation of structural design calculations and covers the following:

• General principles that govern design of the structure's layout

• Initial sizing of members

• Reinforcement estimating

• Final design of members
