Publisher's Synopsis
The clear and accessible choice for reinforced concrete design
When it comes to reinforced concrete design, one text stands out as the clear and accessible choice: Jack McCormac and James Nelson's Design of Reinforced Concrete . These two highly respected authors introduce the fundamental principles of reinforced concrete design in a manner that is easy to understand, and illustrate those principles with numerous examples.
Building on a highly successful tradition, this revised and thoroughly updated Sixth Edition now features a new chapter on system design and reflects the most recent Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete from the American Concrete Institute.
Access powerful software for analysis and design!
In addition, this text is accompanied by two powerful software packages––Sable32 and a student version of SAP2000. These and any additional student and instructor resources are available for download from the book′s website at www.wiley.com/college/mccormac.
- Sable32: This software, which was developed by the authors, will help you perform structural analysis and design reinforced concrete members. The program presents you with member forces computed from analysis, and then asks you to select the appropriate design section for the member.
- SAP2000: A student version of the nationally used commercial program SAP2000 enables you to quickly enter the design data and obtain immediate answers. This program is introduced in Chapter 21, where the authors switch from the design of individual building components (as described in the first 20 chapters) to the design of entire building systems.
