Textbooks/Resources for AS3600-2018

[crax]

Hi all,

I'm trying to find any textbooks relating to concrete design with reference to AS3600-2018. I've been through reinforced concrete basics third edition and am looking to expand my knowledge, particularly with regards to the revised shear calculations and RC wall design.

Similarly, I am trying to find some examples of calculating shear with the revised method when a RC beam isn't a nice simple UDL, which I'm hoping a textbook might cover in detail.

Thanks in advance all,

We have a dedicated forum here for antipodean concerns: Link.

You may be well served by moving your question over there. The process works like this:

1) Red flag your own, initial post.

2) As a reason for red flagging, say that you want to relocate your thread to a more targeted forum.

Note that double posting your question (here and in the antipodean space) is prohibited here.

Alternately, if the option is still available, you could delete your thread and recreate it in the antipodean forum. I believe that option disappears after a certain amount of time however.

The AS/NZS Code Issues forum is intended for discussion of specific issues related to the Australian and NZ codes, whereas this is a very general question, so I think this is the more appropriate forum for it. It would be good to get some N American feedback on the best general resources on the basics of Modified Compression Field Theory, and its application in practice for instance.

I'm not aware of any text books dealing specifically with the new AS 3600, and a search didn't find any, but a search on "modified compression field theory australia" (without the "") did find several resources that look useful.

Also watch out for the Australian Standards Commentary on the new code, which should be published any day now, and will certainly be the most detailed resource specifically related to AS 3600.

Finally if you have any specific questions (such as how to design for shear with non-uniform loads), then the AS/NZ Code Forum would be the best place for that (with a bit more detail).
