The second edition retains all of the features of the original book on the explicit and implicit advice of our peers via the mandatory Cambridge University Press review process. To limit the volume size, the old Appendix C, ‘Development of an integrated package for design of reinforced concrete flat plates on personal computer’, has been removed, being of diminishing practical importance. To enhance the contents, new and important materials are added, some of which were also on the advice of the reviewers:
updated tables and figures to reflect the amendments and addenda to AS3600-2009 promulgated by Standards Australia International since its first publication
additional information on fire design, detailing and cover, long-term deflection, as well as aspects of partially prestressed concrete design; and
an expanded Appendix on strut-and-tie modelling, encompassing the latest publications on the topic plus a numerical example.
Just as significant, another 37 tutorial problems have been added to the various chapters of the book. This makes a total of 108.
