Product Description The twelfth edition of Design of Concrete Structures contains balanced coverage of important topics and is filled with applications that impart an "engineering" flavor, reflecting the authors' practical experience. This respected text leads the reader through a firm understanding of the behavior of reinforced concrete structure before it builds proficiency in the current methods of structural design practice. Particular reference is made to the American Concrete Institute Building Code, incorporating the 1995 ACI Code. | ||

Great Book The notable thing about this Book by Nilson, Darwin and Dolan is that it covers not only the Design of Concrete Structures but also the the behavior of various elements, an understanding of which is absolutely necessary for the design Engineer. The background of the provisions of ACI 318 code is clearly explained. The examples and homework problems may be quite useful to the students. It also covers emerging topics such as strut-and-tie models, which are useful in situations when the usual beam theories are not valid. The text also presents Earthquake detailing and the various types of structural systems applications, which are of great help to the practising engineers. Hope they will bring out the 14th edition soon, in line with ACI 318-2005. | ||
Design of Concrete Structures I actually enjoy reading this text book. The theory is well written, and the examples and derivations are easy to follow and understand. As an Engineering student of Junior standing, I believe this is the best written text book I have ever purchased. | ||
its good refrence for Civil Engineers I read this book with board members of Iranian Concrete Institute and find it useful for students and civil engineers, Arthur H Nilson write this book very friendly, I must say I found this book very interesting for both students and teachers and very good reference for study in academic classes. | ||
great book @great str. design informations i,would like to thank DR. NILSON for his great effort to submit concrete design in a very simple and professional way. i like this book and i have last four editions . i am waiting mor from our great DR NILSON . | ||
Useful and comprehensive book for practitioners This book is very good for practitioners who need to look up something they have forgotten. It can be useful for beginning students, but as far as understanding concepts is concerned, MacGregor's is the best. For a beginner, Nilson's book sometimes gets too cluttered. MacGregor's book covers almost everything in Nilson's book, but with greater emphasis on conceptual understanding. | ||
