Reinforced Concrete provides accessible, up-to-date coverage of reinforced concrete design. It uses reinforced concrete design theory to teach you the scientific and artistic principles of civil engineering. The text takes a topic often introduced at the advanced level and makes it accessible to all audiences by building a foundation with core engineering concepts. Examples and practice problems in each chapter help you develop your engineering judgement and learn to apply complicated engineering concepts to real-world scenarios.

The 8th Edition is up to date with the 2019 Edition of the ACI 318-19 Building Code for Structural Concrete, providing access to accurate information that can be applied outside of the classroom.
