The ninth edition of the best-selling Design of Reinforced Concrete continues the tradition of earlier editions by introducing the fundamentals of reinforced concrete design in a clear and understandable manner and grounded in the basic principles of mechanics of solids. Students build on their understanding of basic mechanics to learn new concepts such as compressive stress and strain in concrete while applying current ACI Code.
The ninth edition has been updated to conform to the 2011 Building Code of the American Concrete Institute (ACI 318-11).
Although written for an introductory three credit hour undergraduate course on reinforced concrete design, this textbook also has sufficient material for a second three credit hour course. This book is also useful for practicing engineers, as it presents the latest requirements of the ACI design code.
Key Features
- Excel Spreadsheets: Use of Excel spreadsheets for examples provides the student and instructor with tools to analyze and design reinforced concrete elements quickly as well as compare alternative solutions.
- Provides enough content to cover a two semester course at the undergraduate level.
- Accessible and practical in approach.
- Grounded in the basic principles of mechanics of solids, so that students build on their understanding of basic mechanics to learn the new concepts of reinforced concrete design.
- Shear Wall Design: Expanded material on shear wall design in Chapter 18 gives details and examples on how to design shear walls for combined axial load and bending moment.
- Visually distinct treatment of SI and U.S. customary units in formulas and examples helps avoid confusion of units.
New to this edition
- Conforms to the 2011 Building Code of the American Concrete Institute (ACI 318-11).
- New Chapter on Concrete Masonry, Chapter 20, is focused on the basics and includes the design of masonry lintels, walls loaded out-or-plane, and shear walls. An example of the design of each type of masonry element is also included to show the student some typical applications.
- Units Added to Example Problems assist the student in determining the source of each input value as well as help in the use of dimensional analysis in determining the correct answers and the units of the answers.
