Written by S.S. Bhavikatti, this is an updated book as per the latest IS-456 that describes the Design of R.C.C. Structural Elements. Summary Of The Book Design of R.C.C. Structural Elements by S.S. Bhavikatti comprises of the updated IS-456, a concept or standardised code of practice for universal structuralism application of bare and stronger concrete materials. This book comprises of ten chapters. The various topics that are covered in the ten chapters of this book elaborates the concepts like how to design stairs, how to design Isolated Column Footings, how to design columns, how to design slabs, how to design beams, what are the different limitations of serviceability, what are the strengths of RC Section in Bond, Torsion and Shear, the various flexural strengths of RC sections, what are the various rationales of limit state designing, and a brief introduction to the topic of designing R.C.C. Structural Elements. Design of R.C.C. Structural Elements is designed in a comprehensive way for the students of civil engineering. With the aid of neatly drawn sketches and layout plans, this book is a complete solution for those who are pursuing their engineering degrees in civil engineering as well as architecture.                                                                                    About S.S.
