FOREWORD
The global use of concrete is second only to water. We have been designing, constructing, using, and maintaining numerous concrete
structures in the past century to fulfi l our infrastructure demands. All this professional experience, along with extensive research, has
guided us to understand the construction and behaviour of concrete structures. This vast knowledge is transferred through books and
research publications.
This book on concrete structures is outstanding in every way; congratulations to Dr Subramanian for writing such a marvellous
and useful book! Dr Subramanian has an extensive professional and research experience. He has been involved in the design and
construction of over 650 projects, and published several books and over 200 research papers. He has received many awards and
prizes for his contributions, including the Scientist of the Year Award from the Tamil Nadu Government in India. He has used his vast
professional experience, in-depth knowledge, and r esearch outputs to produce this outstanding book.
This book is unique in many aspects. It contains extensive information on design and construction of concrete structures. The
following are some of the highlights of this book:
• Numerous photographs and well-labelled illustrations
• Clear numerical examples that are helpful to both young readers and professional engineers
• Case studies that clearly illustrate the topic discussed
• Subject matter in each chapter is extensively covered with useful information
• Review questions and exercises at the end of each chapter, which are again useful to students and refreshing for professional
engineers
• Extensive list of references at the end of each chapter for further reading
This book will be highly cherished by the budding and professional engineers alike. Dr Subramanian has performed a great service
to concrete construction by writing this book. I am privileged and honoured to write this Foreword. Congratulations once again to Dr
Subramanian, and wish this book a great success!
