A comprehensive guide to concrete design, covering key concepts, formulas, and design procedures. It delves into the flexural behavior of beams, including stages of failure, stress distribution, and transformed sections. The document also explores design methods for singly and doubly reinforced beams, including t-beams with t-action. It includes practical examples and illustrations to aid in understanding the concepts.
