Prab Bhatt is Honorary Senior Research Fellow at Glasgow University, UK and author or editor of eight other books, including Programming the Dynamic Analysis of Structures, and Design of Prestressed Concrete Structures, both published by Taylor & Francis. He has lectured on design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures and also on structural mechanics to undergraduate and postgraduate classes in universities in India, Canada and Scotland. He has also carried out research, theoretical and experimental, in the area of behaviour of concrete structures, and has also been extensively involved in design office work. Tom MacGinley and Ban Seng Choo, both deceased, were academics with extensive experience of teaching and research in Singapore, Newcastle, Nottingham and Edinburgh.

whole. Useful references on detailing are by Institution of Structural Engineers, London (2006) and Calavera (2012). It is essential for the student to know the conventions for making reinforced concrete drawings such as scales, methods for specifying steel bars, links, fabric, cut-off points etc. The main particulars for detailing are given for most of the worked exercises in the book. The bar schedule can be prepared on completion of the detail drawings. In the U.K., the form of the schedule and shape code for the bars conform to BS 8666: 2005, Scheduling, Dimensioning, Bending and Cutting of Steel for Reinforcement for Concrete.
It is essential that the student carry out practical work in detailing and preparation of bar schedules prior to and/or during a design course in reinforced concrete. Computer detailing suites are now in general use in design offices.
