Limit State Design of Reinforced Concrete by P.C. Varghese - Prentice Hall of India [PDF]

ABOUT THE BOOK 

         Limit State Design of Reinforced Concrete written by P.C.Varghese is published by Prentice Hall of India Private Limited. Author says that this book is printed not to replace the code and other valuable publications of the Bureau of Indian Standards. It is meant only to explain the provisions of these publications from the fundamentals and make the publication more familiar to the students. Hence to get the maximum benefit, this book has to be used along with the following publications of the Bureau of Indian Standards. 

• IS 456 (1978) Code of practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete
• SP 16 (1980) Design aids to IS 456 (1978)
• SP 34 (1987) Handbook on Concrete Reinforcement and Detailing

Only sample charts, tables, figures have been reproduced here with permissions from BIS to illustrate the use of these publications for design. So students should buy the copies of these very useful documents. 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

               P. C. VARGHESE, M.S., M.Engg. (Harvard), PhD, had his postgraduate education first in soil mechanics at the Harvard University, the USA (under Professor Terzaghi and Professor Casagrande) and also later in reinforced concrete at the Imperial College, London (under Professor A.L.L. Baker). He was among the founding faculty member of IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras and University of Moratuwa (Sri Lanka). An honorary Professor at Anna University, Chennai, he was formerly, Professor and Head, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Madras. He also worked as UNESCO Chief Technical Advisor, University of Moratuwa, Colombo. He has been consultant to various projects in India and abroad. Besides, he has worked as Assistant Soil Specialist at Hirakud Dam (Orissa) during the laying of the foundations and as Construction Engineer while he was a member of the staff of the Civil Engineering Department, IIT Kharagpur. A distinguished teacher and well-known Consultant, Professor Varghese is an established author.
