"""This book provides a comprehensive and reliable treatment of the finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures on the basis of well-founded material properties adopted on the basis of experimental results after a critical evaluation by the author according to his personal research. The strictness of the approach regarding the effective triaxial concrete behaviour forms a safe basis for the development of the finite element procedure in analyzing various reinforced concrete structures under static and dynamic loading including the seismic design.""
