“Structural Concrete” is valuable both as historical engineering literature and as a reference source for fundamental structural concrete behaviour and design thinking. The title remains relevant for readers seeking to understand how concrete design was approached during a period of major post-war construction, and how those principles laid the groundwork for modern practice.

“Structural Concrete” by Kurt Billig is an extensive treatise on concrete as a structural material, addressing its properties, behaviour, design and detailing in building structures. Published in 1963 by Macmillan & Co Ltd., the volume spans over a thousand pages, reflecting the ambitious scope of the subject. Billig’s work places emphasis on the interplay between concrete and reinforcement, structural form and service, and the enduring characteristics of reinforced concrete systems.
Within “Structural Concrete” the reader encounters chapters that cover not just the fundamentals of concrete and steel but the detailed design of beams, slabs, columns, footings and retaining walls. The text reflects the state of structural engineering practice of its time, capturing the methodologies, assumptions and detailing conventions of the early 1960s. Its depth makes it suitable for serious study: engineers, advanced students and those interested in infrastructure design will find its exposition richly detailed.
As a technical work, “Structural Concrete” is valuable both as historical engineering literature and as a reference source for fundamental structural concrete behaviour and design thinking. The title remains relevant for readers seeking to understand how concrete design was approached during a period of major post-war construction, and how those principles laid the groundwork for modern practice.
