For courses in reinforced concrete design.

A practitioner's guide to reinforced concrete design

Reinforced Concrete Design integrates current building and material codes with realistic examples to give readers a practical understanding of this field and the work of its engineers. Using a step-by-step solution format, the text takes an active-learning approach to analyzing the design, strength and behavior of reinforced concrete members and simple reinforced concrete structural systems.

The 9th Edition conforms to the latest version of ACI-318 Code. The new edition expands discussion of common design elements and practice issues. It also adds more end-of-chapter problems reflecting real-world design projects.

Hallmark features of this title

Preparation for engineering work

  • A chapter discussing practical considerations for working in the industry sets students' expectations for professional pursuits in the field.
  • An outline of sample design projects (Ch. 14) gives readers a holistic view of real-world design situations.
  • Many realistic drawings and details help learners visualize and better comprehend concepts.

Practical, real-world applications

  • A step-by-step solution format ensures the text is learner-centered.
  • UDPATED: Practical, real-world examples reflect the most current version of ACI-318 Code.
  • EXPANDED: End-of-chapter problems throughout mirror aspects of real-world design situations.

New and updated features of this title

Focus on the latest standards in concrete

  • UPDATED: The text conforms to the latest ACI-318 standards needed to stay current.
  • EXPANDED: New information on common practice issues (Ch. 7 and 14) has been added. Issues include floor vibrations, load testing of concrete structures, one-way slabs subjected to concentrated loads, and closure or pour strips in reinforced concrete floors.
  • EXPANDED: Fire resistance of concrete structural elements and specifications for concrete buildings (Ch. 14) are addressed as two common practice and design issues needing attention.

New content on design elements

  • EXPANDED: New information on common design elements (Ch. 1, 2, 4 and 9) covers concrete mixes, gravity load distribution in concrete floor systems, slabs-on-grade, design of corbels, design for bi-axial bending of columns, design of slender columns, and diaphragms, drag struts and chords.
  • EXPANDED: Two-way slab design (Ch. 6) using the direct design method together with the equivalent frame method is addressed in the new edition.
  • EXPANDED: The design of pile caps and deep beams (Ch. 10) using the strut and tie method is now discussed.
