The book is designed primarily for postgraduate students (M.Tech/M.E.) and practicing engineers. It moves beyond the design of simple beams and slabs to tackle challenging structural components. Key features include:
Advanced RCC Design by S. S. Bhavikatti is a widely respected textbook that bridges the gap between basic reinforced concrete design and more complex, real-world structural elements. The book is strictly based on the Limit State Method as per the Indian Standard Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete, IS 456:2000. advanced rcc design ss bhavikatti pdf
While basic RCC courses cover beams, slabs, columns, and footings, this book addresses elements that require special design considerations, such as continuous frames, torsion, curved beams, deep beams, water tanks, and retaining walls. The book is designed primarily for postgraduate students (M
Before software like STAAD Pro or ETABS, engineers used approximate methods. Bhavikatti covers the Portal Method and Cantilever Method for lateral loads (wind/seismic) on frames. Advanced RCC Design by S
