314R-11 Guide to Simplified Design for Reinforced Concrete Builidings

Abstract: (For Buildings of Limited Size and Height, based on ACI 318-11 and IPS-1, "Essential Requirements for Reinforced Concrete Buildings" This guide presents simplified methods and design techniques that facilitate and speed the engineering of low-rise buildings within certain limitations. Material is presented in an order that follows typical design process with procedures introduced as the designer will need them in the course of a building design.
