STRUCTURAL DETAILING IN CONCRETE
Preface
Preface to the first A number of books on various aspects of concrete design and detailing have
edition, 1992 been published but this is believed to be the first comprehensive detailing
manual. The aim of this book is to cover a wide range of topics, so simplifying
and reducing the work required to prepare structural drawings and details in
reinforced, prestressed, precast and composite concrete.
The book initially provides a list of extracts from relevant codes and current
practices. Where drawings are carried out using imperial units, a conversion
table is provided to change them into SI units.
The book is divided into eight sections: Section I deals with the general
requirements for structural detailing in concrete, basic drafting criteria and the
properties of materials. Section II is devoted entirely to the structural detailing
of beams and slabs. Section III covers reinforced concrete detailing of stairs
and staircases. A comprehensive description is given of the detailing of
reinforced concrete columns, frames and walls in Section IV. The reader is
also referred for more information to the later section on integrated
structures.
Section V covers prestressed concrete systems with some basic structural
detailing of beams and anchorages. Again the reader is referred to other
sections, in particular Section VIII regarding the use of prestressed tendon
elements in integrated structures. Section VI presents structural detailing in
composite construction, precast concrete elements, joints and connections.
Section VII includes basic structural detailing of reinforced concrete
foundations and earth-retaining structures. An effort is made to include a
number of foundation drawings so that the reader can appreciate the quality
and design required for a specific job.
Students of civil and structural engineering who have worked through to
this part of the book will have acquired the background necessary to draw the
majority of reinforced, prestressed, precast and composite concrete structures
commonly encountered in professional practice. To assist the reader in his/her
completion of drawings, an unusually large number of drawings have been
incorporated into the text since they are generally the principal communication
between the structural engineer/designer, architect, builder and client.
Case studies in Section VIII include the structural detailing of the following
special structures in concrete:

Preface to the second This concrete detailing manual has been prepared to provide practical and up-
edition to-date information on many aspects of concrete construction, and is intended
for educators, designers, draftsmen and detailers, and all others who have an
interest in structural concrete work.
The text covers the full scope of structural detailing in the UK, Europe and
the USA, starting with the fundamentals of drawing, continuing with drafting
practice and conventional methods of detailing components, and concluding
with a number of case studies.
The first edition of the text was based on the British Standard codes and
practices. However, in the past decade or so there has been an increase in
international multipurpose concrete construction, and engineers on both sides
of the Atlantic (and elsewhere in the World) showed a desire for European and
American codes and practices to be included in this book. This task, taken
upon himself by the author, proved gigantic, especially the incorporation of
the newly developed Eurocode 2. Several organizations dealing in British,
European and American codes were approached and their advice was sought
in the preparation of this second edition.
Those who have used the first edition will find the main headings of the
various sections unchanged. The introduction to each section is as given in the
first edition. However, each section has typical explanatory notes and drawings
with up-to-date information on developmental methods. In some sections only
minimal alteration was required, while in others a complete revision was
needed. Each section was expanded with codified methods for drafting and
detailing concrete structures based on European and American practices. The
second edition of this text, therefore, covers the full scope of structural
detailing in the UK, Europe and the USA.
Section I now encompasses all general requirements for concrete structures
based on the three practices. Section II, on reinforced concrete beams and
slabs, now includes deep beams. Geometric staircases are now included in
Section III. Based on the three practices, columns, frames and walls are dis-
cussed in Section IV. Details on prestressed concrete are given in Section V,
