This book presents standard designs of structural elements (slabs, beams, columns and foundations) for low-rise residential buildings such as bungalows, semi-detached houses and link / terrace houses in reinforced concrete construction. It serves as a design tool for preliminary frame scheming and member sizing for the structural engineer. It also serves as a verification tool to automated computer generated design outputs.
