Design of Skeletal Structures
In this chapter detailed design methods, with worked examples, are given for the design of beams, staircases, and columns subjected to gravity loads. It provides materials specifications. Precast structural frame design is an interactive procedure, and several iterations within the design routine are carried out. The result is that the subtleties of the process have been refined by the precasters to such a degree that it is difficult for the uninitiated to gain access to the thought process. Prefabrication of reinforced and prestressed concrete components has much greater potential for economy, structural performance and durability than cast‐in situ concrete. The design of beams is based on ordinary reinforced or prestressed concrete principles for specified loads and support conditions. Staircase design is by reinforced or prestressed concrete solid slab or tee‐beam analysis.
