Reinforced Concrete Design
S U Pillai and Devdas Menon
Fourth edition, McGraw-Hill Education
The book on Reinforced Concrete Design has undergone regular revisions following its first publication in 1998 - in order to keep pace with developments in theory and practice, and corresponding periodic revisions and updates in the provisions of IS 456 and related codes.
This book lays great emphasis on conceptual clarity and strength in fundamentals. The student is encouraged to raise questions, to relate to field experience, to develop a 'structural sense', to appreciate proper 'documentation' and 'detailing', to analyse results and to synthesize knowledge; and the 'design-build-test-analyse-report' type laboratory projects now introduced will help practice such capabilities.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS a basic textbook for undergraduates, now in its third edition, has undergone revisions following its first publication since 2008, to provide for better clarity and understanding of the subject. The text has been well received for its comprehensive explanation of the fundamentals of structural analysis in an innovative manner. The method of learning advocated in the book helps in developing analytical and intuitive skills, truly enjoying the learning and practice of structural analysis - not only for the beginner, but for those interested in relearning afresh.
Concepts that are crucial, such as the principle of virtual work, energy methods and displacement methods, have been explained in detail. All explanations are supplemented with numerous examples for better understanding and to develop a 'physical feel'. Various shortcut methods of analysing indeterminate structures that are very easy to implement are discussed.
