Reinforced Concrete Column Design

>Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute. CRSI Design Handbook 2002. Schaumburg: Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute, 2002.

This book provides the ability to access tables which contain the design forces due to floor loads. These forces are used to determine the size and reinforcement needed for the column to resist the design forces.

>Nilson, Arthur H., David Darwin, and Charles W. Dolan. Design of Concrete Structures. New York, McGraw-Hill, 2004.

The basics of column design and the determining of design forces are outlined in this book. It provides a step-by-step process for column design, from determining the forces to sizing the column and reinforcement.

Pre-cast Concrete Plank Floor System Design

>American Institute of Steel Construction. Manual of Steel Construction. 2003.

A design manual which aides in the design of different uses for steel members. Contained in this manual are tables which will allow for the design of steel beams to be used as support members for the pre-cast concrete plank floor system members.

>Nitterhouse Concrete Products, Inc. 2004. 24 February 2004 <www.nitterhouse.com>.

This site provides information and design guides available for the design of pre-cast concrete floor planks. Also included are details for the connections of the floor planks to different possible support systems.

Foundation Design

>American Concrete Institute. Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-02) and Commentary (ACIR-02). 2002.

A book of governing codes for the design of concrete footings. Included are an overview of loads, forces, and design criteria for the design of concrete footings.

>Das, Braja M. Principles of Foundation Engineering. 2004.

Included in this book are examples and references needed to design concrete footings. The forces found from the column design are used along with the soil properties to design a footing which can withstand the bearing capacity of the building.
