Strength Design For Reinforced Concrete Hydraulic Structures

Strength Design for Reinforced-Concrete Hydraulic Structures is written in sufficient detail to not only provide the designer with design procedures, but also to present examples of their application. A review of general detailing requirements, as well as strength and serviceability requirements, create a strong understanding of the strength-design method. Latter chapters feature examples that demonstrate load-factor application, the design of members subjected to combined flexural and axial loads, the design of members subjected to biaxial bending, and the design for shear strength, including provisions for both special straight and curved members.

This manual provides guidance for designing reinforced concrete hydraulic structures by the strength-design method. Plain concrete and prestressed concrete are not covered in this manual.

This manual is written in sufficient detail to not only provide thedesigner with design procedures, but to also provide examples of theirapplication. Also, derivations of the combined flexural and axial loadequations are given to increase the designer's confidence and understanding.b. General detailing requirements are presented in Chapter 2.Chapter 3 presents strength and serviceability requirements, including loadfactors and limits on flexural reinforcement. Design equations for memberssubjected to flexural and/or axial loads (including biaxial bending) are givenin Chapter 4. Chapter 5 presents guidance for design for shear, includingprovisions for curved members and special straight members. The appendicesinclude notation, equation derivations, and examples. The examplesdemonstrate load-factor application, design of members subjected to combinedflexural and axial loads, design for shear, development of an interactiondiagram, and design of members subjected to biaxial bending.

This book provides a comprehensive description of the analysis and design process of some hydraulic concrete structures designed to retain and contain aqueous liquid. The first edition discussed six types of structures of different functions, namely: (a) An underground sedimentation tank for sewage treatment.(b) An underground digestion tank for sludge treatment.(c) An underground reservoir to store fresh potable water.(d) An immersed highway tunnel under the river bed.(e) An indoor swimming pool of rectangular shape for public recreation.(f) A gravity dam across a valley for converting the valley into a fresh water reservoir. This Second Edition incorporates another type of hydraulic structure, namely spillway. The spillway structure plays a vital role in regulating the designed reservoir water level to meet the fluctuating demand of water supply for the generation of hydroelectricity, irrigation and water supply purposes in controlling the height of reservoir water level downstream of the river. The spillway structure subjected to seismic hydrodynamic pressure in addition to the hydrostatic pressure, has been analysed and designed in full compliance with Eurocodes EC 2: Part 1–1 and Part 3 as water-retaining structure. The other six structures have been analysed and designed with reference to the relevant clauses of codes of practice prescribed in Eurocodes 2 and BS 8007 and BS 8110. The book is designed to serve as a useful practical guide and a valuable reference for senior undergraduate students of civil engineering and postgraduate students specializing in structural design, as well as practising and consulting engineers involved in the design and execution of hydraulic concrete structures.
