3. Design in reinforced concrete to BS 8110

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 col
umns 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 founda
tion, cantilever retaining wall and short braced columns
 supporting axial loads and uni-axial or bi-axial bend
ing. 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 possible exception of columns
