Reinforced Concrete Design
Eighth Edition integrates current research and literature to give
readers a modern understanding of the strength and behavior of
reinforced concrete members and simple reinforced concrete structural
systems. It takes a fundamental, non-calculus, practice-oriented
approach to the design and analysis of reinforced concrete structural
members, using numerous examples and a step-by-step solution format.
This eighth edition is fully updated to conform to the American Concrete Institute’s latest Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete
(ACI 318-11), the current U.S. design standard. A new chapter discusses
practical considerations and rules of thumb for designing reinforced
concrete structures, including initial sizing and layout; calculation of
approximate moment and shears in concrete girders; repair methods for
existing structures, and a new student design project. The text also
offers conceptual insights into topics such as prestressed concrete and
detailing.
