If you meant that you found it interesting conceptually and want to discuss a specific topic from the book (like partial safety factors, limit state of collapse vs. serviceability), I’m happy to go into that as well. Have you used Shah and Karve for your studies
In the world of civil engineering, few subjects are as critical as the design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. For decades, students and practicing engineers in India and beyond have relied on a singular, authoritative text to bridge the gap between complex theoretical codes and practical application: (often colloquially referred to as the "Shah and Karve" text due to the widespread influence of their parallel work, Limit State Design of Reinforced Concrete ).
Unlike Western texts that focus on ACI codes, Shah and Karve’s work is meticulously tailored to the . The search for a "PDF" of this text is driven by the need for instant, portable access to its famous tables, design charts, and step-by-step numerical examples. serviceability), I’m happy to go into that as well
