Synopsis

This updated student text aims to establish a firm understanding of the behaviour of reinforced concrete structures, and to develop proficiency in the methods used in current structural design practice. The basic mechanisms of structural concrete and methods for the design of individual members for bending, shear, axial forces and torsion, and in addition the text provides much detail related to applications such as the various building systems. Step-by-step design procedures are given to guide the student through the complex methodology of current design. These can easily be converted into flow charts to aid in computer programming.

Présentation de l'éditeur


The 14th edition of the classic text, Design of Concrete Structures, is completely revised using the newly released 2008 ACI (American Concrete Institute) Code. This new edition has the same dual objectives as the previous editions; first to establish a firm understanding of the behavior of structural concrete, then to develop proficiency in the methods used in current design practice.

Design of Concrete Structures covers the behavior and design aspects of concrete and provides updated examples and homework problems. New material on slender columns, seismic design, anchorage using headed deformed bars, and reinforcing slabs for shear using headed studs has been added. The notation has been thouroughly updated to match changes in the ACI Code.

The text also presents the basic mechanics of structural concrete and methods for the design of individual members for bending, shear, torsion, and axial force, and provides detail in the various types of structural systems applications, including an extensive presentation of slabs, footings, foundations, and retaining walls.
