The Secrets of Efficient Reinforced Concrete Structures

The efficient design of reinforced concrete structures can feel like it is a secret as it isn't something that you will find in concrete design textbooks. I will go through my secrets for efficient concrete structures; these secrets for efficient design have taken me time to develop working as a structural engineer. They do not require any complex structural analysis but will provide a simple guide that you can apply to any reinforced concrete design.

Reinforced concrete is a broad topic, so to ensure a concrete structure is efficient, I will be covering columns, walls, and slabs. guiding both reinforced concrete and post-tensioned design.
