This volume elucidates the designs of various types of foundation and structures like retaining walls, water tanks, various typs of slabs, multi-storyed buildings formwork, detaining of reinforcements and elements of prestressed concrete, based on latest Indian standards mainly using Limit State Method. A complete multi-storeyed building design example is also included.

The salient features of the book are:

It is hoped that the book will satisfy the needs of the students preparing for Degree Examinations in Civil Engineering as well as for professional Examinations conducted by various Boards of Technical Education, It should also be of an immense use to practising Civil/Strutural Engineers.
