ABSTRACT
This chapter is concerned with the detailed design of reinforced concrete elements to British Standard 8110. A general discussion of the different types of commonly occurring beams, slabs, walls, foundations and columns is given together with a number of fully worked examples covering the design of the following elements: singly and doubly reinforced beams, continuous beams, one-way and two-way spanning solid slabs, pad foundation, cantilever retaining wall and short braced columns supporting axial loads and uni-axial or bi-axial bending. The section which deals with singly reinforced beams is, perhaps, the most important since it introduces the design procedures and equations which are common to the design of the other elements mentioned above, with the exception of columns.
