Book Description
Incorporating the 1995 ACI Code requirements for the design of structural concrete, this comprehensive new textbook fills the gap between industrial and educational requirements by helping students understand the practical aspects of the modern design of concrete structures. Presenting the analysis and design of both reinforced and prestressed concrete elements, Structural Concrete is exceptionally logical and easy to read. Written to cover a two-course sequence on the design of reinforced concrete structures, this book should also serve as a valuable reference for the practicing engineer and those interested in concrete materials and design.

The hallmark features of this text include an in-depth treatment of the ultimate strength concept of reinforced concrete; detailed, yet easy to follow examples in each chapter; unique chapters on the design of different types of stairs and the design of curved beams. A software program is also available which allows students to check each step of their calculations for analysis problems and to explore options for designing reinforced concrete members.


Reviews


Great Graduate Book...
If you are a Graduate Student or a Practicing Engineer this text is the way to go... Has many great design examples and has a broad range of topics. However, I must advise that there is very limited amount of information for Strut-and-Tie Design. Besides that, great book.

Book okay but has errors
Good book for the money, but be sure to check the website for all the typos in the book.

Simply excellent !!
I'm a graduate engineer, struggling with the reality of the world of work. Luckly I came across this book in the company's library and in no time I was designing to the satisfaction of my supervisors. Indeed this book has helped me alot. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is similar to me. I also recommend this to all undergraduates who need help in understanding reinforced concrete design. It would be very helpful and time saving when doing those design projects. .

Must have for learning concrete design.
While struggling to understand fundamental concepts during concrete design, this textbook came through like a hero. One classmate bought the book, then four other students (the "brightest")in the class bought it. Let's just say, it really is that good.

The examples were clear and logical. The book works well enough to self-teach.

Design of Flexurer,Shear,Sabs,Columns...etc.
I just have finished a course of Fundamentals of Reinforced Concrete and this book helped me to understand far more than I expected.First I borrowed it from library then I bought a copy of it.It is full of examples and well organized.All I want to say if you have a problem mastering Fundamentals of Reinforced concrete design you should look at this book.
