Publisher's Synopsis
Presenting the analysis and design of both reinforced and prestressed concrete elements, Structural Concrete: Theory and Design, Third Edition fills the gap between industrial and educational requirements by helping students understand the practical aspects of the modern design of concrete structures. Written to cover a two–course sequence on the design of reinforced concrete structures, this exceptionally logical and easy–to–read book is also a valuable reference for the practicing engineer and those interested in concrete materials and design.
Structural Concrete bolsters students′ and professionals′ understanding of concrete design and analysis with an easy–to–understand presentation of design methods accompanied by numerous examples and problems. Updated to reflect the latest American Concrete Institute (ACI) code requirements for the design of structural concrete (ACI 318–05), this Third Edition features:
- A completely new chapter on seismic design that incorporates the latest from the International Building Code (IBC 2003)
- A new section presenting innovative models for predicting shrinkage and creep of concrete
- Three chapters have been completely rewritten while others have been revised to incorporate updates to the latest ACI 318–05
- SI unit examples, conversion factors from customary U.S. to SI, and SI unit design tables
A companion Web site features:
- A quick–reference section of flowcharts
- Excel spreadsheets that enable readers to evaluate different design aspects of concrete members in an interactive environment
