Limit Analysis and Concrete Plasticity, Second Edition explains the basic principles of plasticity theory and its application to the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, providing a thorough understanding of the subject, rather than simply applying current design codes. This understanding enables the design student or engineer to solve problems more effectively and safely. Fully updated, the second edition includes new treatments in a variety of areas and includes numerical methods and computer code for solving problems, incorporating methods into Eurocode 2-the common concrete standard for all of Europe.
