Compressive Force-Path Method Unified Ultimate Limit-State Design of
This book presents a method which simplifies and unifies the design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures and is applicable to any structural element under both normal and seismic loading conditions. The proposed method has a sound theoretical basis and

Preface
Current Design Philosophy Current codes of practice for the design of structures have been developed within the context of the limit-state philosophy: A structure or member is first designed so as to exhibit specified performance after attaining its load-carrying capacity, i.e. when its ultimate limit state is reached; the design is complemented or even revised during a process of checking whether the structure or member exhibits the desired behavioural char
