Reinforced Concrete Structures: Design According to CSA A23.3-04 Omar Chaallal Mohamed Lachemi

• Seismic behavior of RC structures.
• Strengthening and retrofitting using FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Polymers).
• Durability and serviceability of concrete structures.

• Chapter 1: Physical Properties of Concrete and Steel – Covers creep, shrinkage, thermal expansion, and stress-strain curves for high-strength materials.
• Chapter 2: Limit States Design Philosophy – Detailed explanation of ultimate limit states (ULS) and serviceability limit states (SLS) per Canadian and ACI codes.
• Chapter 3: Flexural Strength of Beams – Strain compatibility, Whitney's stress block, singly vs. doubly reinforced sections.
• Chapter 4: Shear and Torsion – Variable angle truss model (a Chaallal specialty) and interaction of shear with axial load.
• Chapter 5: Bond and Development Length – Anchorage, splices, and hooked bars with practical tables.
• Chapter 6: Serviceability – Crack control (Gergely-Lutz vs. Eurocode) and long-term deflection calculations.
• Chapter 7: Columns – Short vs. slender columns, biaxial bending, and P-M interaction diagrams.
• Chapter 8: Seismic Design – Capacity design principles, strong-column weak-beam, confinement detailing.
• Chapter 9: Footings and Retaining Walls – Punching shear, soil-structure interaction.
• Chapter 10: Prestressed Concrete – Losses, anchorage zones, and decompression moment.
