STRUCTURAL DETAILING OF TWO STOREY BUILDING

The whole information conveyed in this book has been planned and written for proper understanding of structural detailing of a building.

The approach in this book is to provide the readers sound and basic knowledge in structural detailing in a building. Consequently, I have given more details than is normally given in a book concerning detailing of structural members, which include slabs, beam, stairway and column.
