Concrete Structures provides an easy-to-understand, integrated and comprehensive treatment of the behaviour, analysis and design of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures. Concrete Structures is the definitive Australia textbook on concrete structures for students and professionals.

The present textbook on nuclear structure takes a unique and complementary approach compared to existing texts on the topic. Avoiding complicated calculations and complex mathematical formalism, it explains nuclear structure by building on a few elementary physical ideas. Even such apparently intricate topics as shell model residual interactions, the Nilsson model, and the RPA analysis of collective vibrations are explained in a simple, intuitive way so that predictions can usually be made without calculations, essentially by inspection. Frequent comparison with data allows the relevance of theoretical approaches to be immediately evident. This edition includes new chapters on exotic nuclei and radioactive beams, and on correlations of collective observables. Completely new discussions are given of isospin, the shell model, nature of collective vibrations, multi-phonon states, superdeformation, bandmixing, geometric collective model, fermi gas model, basic properties of simple nuclear potentials, the deuteron, etc. With the amount of new material this new edition is essentially a new book.
Intended for courses on the Analysis and Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures found in undergraduate Civil and Structural Engineering Departments. This text will also be of use to practising designers. Reinforced Concrete Basics is a book on analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures, starting with the fundamentals followed by the developing of advanced approaches. It contains the material needed for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in reinforced concrete and for practising engineers. In preparing the text, the authors provide an understanding of structural behaviour before undertaking any quantitative analysis. Examples are introduced at an early stage in the development of each topic. Readers can use the examples as exercises to test their understanding as they proceed with their study of the material.
Includes section, "Recent book acquisitions" (varies: Recent United States publications) formerly published separately by the U.S. Army Medical Library.
