Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | New edition helps students make the bridge from concepts to problem-solvingThe Fourth Edition of Structural Concrete: Theory and Design brings this text fully up to date while maintaining its acclaimed easy-to-follow, logical approach. Working with the text's numerous step-by-step examples, students quickly grasp the principles and techniques of analyzing and designing reinforced and prestressed concrete elements. Moreover, the authors' emphasis on a top quality, economical approach helps students design concrete structures and members with confidence. Fully updated and revised, the Fourth Edition features: Latest coverage reflecting the ACI 318-08 code Seismic design chapter incorporates the latest of the International Building Code (IBC 2006) AASHTO method for predicting concrete creep and shrinkage New chapter dedicated to the design of curved beams SI unit examples, equivalent conversion factors from customary units to SI units, and SI unit design tables
Practical problems in each chapter enable students to apply and assess their knowledge as they advance through the text. The text's companion Web site gives students more opportunities to apply their knowledge, with such features as MS Excel spreadsheets that offer an interactive environment for evaluating different design aspects of concrete members. This text is an outgrowth of the two authors' lecture notes, reflecting more than twenty-five years of both classroom teaching and industrial experience. It is structured to cover a two-course sequence on the design of reinforced concrete structures as well as provide a comprehensive up-to-date reference for practicing engineers. | | | |

 The BEST book on Concrete Design Sep 30, 2004
By Liiban A. Affi
This is by far the best book on Reinforced Concrete Design. It is the most EFFICIENT way of learning the subject. It has theory, but it is also reinforced by plenty of examples and diagrams. For example if you want to learn rectangular footing design, it will take you less than 2 hrs for study, review and thorough understanding. The other plus of this book is it covers unusual but needed topics like stair design, balanced footing design and concrete pile caps methodology. Finally Dr. Hassoun also refers to the ACI code and blends it seamleesly with equations and examples and has SI problems as part of the book.

Design of Flexurer,Shear,Sabs,Columns...etc. Aug 17, 2006
By Bakhtyar Mohammed
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.

Must have for learning concrete design. May 31, 2007
By B. Boado
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.

This book will cover everything in the ACI 318-08 Design Manual that you will need for reinforced concrete design.

 Good, up to date reference, but has flaws. Apr 01, 2009
By J. Tennant
I bought this becuase I needed an updated text book for the PE exam. I was able to extract almost everything I needed from this book. I am glad I bought it and it's probably about the best you'll find. It has plenty of flaws although nothing I couldn't live with.
One thing I do not like is the overwhelming clutter on the pages with calculations. The information is logical and it's good, but it takes some staring to get used to it. Often times there are variables like Mu that are used to represent strength and load in the same step which is confusing. I found myself renaming a lot of variables becuase of that.
Keep an eye out for algebra errors. I wish there was an errata for this on amazon becuase I tend to find plenty of numerical errors and typos. Just be wary and double check the calcs.
My old text had flow charts for everything. This text does offer a summary at the end of each chapter. I'm a visual person and I had to draw up my own flow charts to consolidate the information in a logical manner so I can quickly go through designs by hand.
There are some subjects that are barely touched in this book that I really wished were included. There is little to no information on tilt-up panel design and shear walls. I have to turn to the SEAOC yellow book (3rd edition) for that.
