Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | Reinforced concrete design encompasses both the art and science of engineering. This book presents the theory of reinforced concrete as a direct application of the laws of statics and mechanics of materials. In addition, it emphasizes that a successful design not only satisfies design rules, but also is capable of being built in a timely fashion and for a reasonable cost. A multi-tiered approach makes Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design an outstanding textbook for a variety of university courses on reinforced concrete design. Topics are normally introduced at a fundamental level, and then move to higher levels where prior educational experience and the development of engineering judgment will be required. | | | |

 Even Better with New Co-Author Aug 09, 2005
By B. Saxey
This book was already one of the best concrete design texts and is even better with the addition of the new co-author James Wight, who adds valuable information on the design of concrete structures to resist seismic forces. There are a few minor errors in the examples that still exist from the 3rd edition, but they are minor and the examples are detailed enough that the corrections are usually forthcoming. I recently finished a MS in Structural Engineering focusing on concrete design and this book (3rd edition) was one of the 2 or 3 that I found myself referring to most often.

excellent examples Dec 16, 2000
By Bob McBob
As a student, this book proved to be a vital supplement to lecture topics concerning both the design and analysis of reinforced concrete. I would recommend having at least some understanding of structual mechanics and concrete material properties and behavior before buying this text though. It can be best used by upperclassmen undergrads and by professionals who need to brush up on basic concrete design skills. Covers analysis and design of beams with tension and compression steel, transverse reinforcement design, deflections, torsion, one-way and two-way slabs, continuous beams and more. It is HIGHLY recommended that you supplement this book with the current ACI building code for concrete.

An excellent book. Sep 21, 1999
A comprehensive book, explains all concepts in detail. Suitable as a textbook for beginners as well as a reference for practising engineers. I enjoyed the chapters on torsion, short columns, slender columns,and strut and tie models.

Reinforced Concrete : Mechanics and Design (4th Edition) Mar 15, 2006
By Y. Cabral
This book is the best for those who want a deeper understanding of reinforced concrete design.Since the author presents a step by step way to introduce the concepts,the reader is able to get a more detailed information and retents more concepts instead of procedures

Informative and Illustrative Jun 02, 2000
By Payam Khashaee
This book is great in this sense that it illustrates the philosophy behind the numbers used in ACI code and the limit states of each design parameter. It is great for understanding the behavior of reinforced structural systems as well as practical design.
