Reinforced Concrete Design 6e

For courses in Reinforced Concrete Design, Concrete Construction, Structures, Structural Analysis/Design, and Concrete in Architecture. Revised to conform to the latest ACI code, Reinforced Concrete Design, Sixth Edition, provides a basic understanding of the strength and behavior of reinforced concrete members and simple reinforced concrete structural systems. Written with practicality and accessibility in mind, the text does not require calculus, but rather focuses on the math and fundamentals that are most appropriate for engineering technology programs and practicing technicians. This edition retains its unique chapters on prestressed concrete, formwork design and detailing, and includes a new co-author, expanded coverage of columns, over 150 homework problems and numerous sample problems complete with step-by-step solutions.

New to the Edition: New! Revised to conform to the latest ACI Code-throughout the text.· Complies with the Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-05) as prescribed by the American Concrete Institute.· Teaches the current ACI code and incorporates examples and homework problems that reflect the most recent industry standards. New! Expanded coverage of columns-appears inCh. 9. · Includes a section on columnssubjected to eccentrically applied loads and the use of column interaction diagrams. New! An additional co-author, Abi Aghayere-has been added to this edition.· Brings a combination of academic excellence and broad practical experience to the text. · Co-authored by a Professor of Civil Engineering Technology and an award-winning instructor at Rochester Institute of Technology. Hallmark Features: Uses a non-calculus, practical approach-designed specifically for engineering technology programs, technicians, engineering and architectural students and design engineers.· Focuses on fundamentals that are important to engineering technology programs.· Presents material in a straight-forward and step-by-step problem-solving manner. Provides a basic understanding of the strength and behavior of reinforced concrete members-and simple reinforced concrete structural systems.· Presents concepts in clear, understandable terms, using mathematical treatments that are appropriate for technology programs.Includes chapters on prestressed concrete ( ch. 11), formwork design ( ch. 12), and detailing (ch.13)-which makes this text more complete.· Covers material that is not frequently included in textbooks for the technology level. Includes over 150 end-of-chapter homework problems-throughout the text.· Offers a variety of problems that differ in complexity and level, yet are consistently practical and realistic. Incorporates an assortment of spreadsheet problems-at the end of each chapter.· Prepares students by asking them to apply textbook concepts to realistic, computer-related problems.· Provides an easy way to show accrediting teams computer integration. Offers more than 200 illustrations-throughout the text.· Provides numerous example problems-complete with step-by-step solutions-to illustrate acceptable and theoretically correct approaches to design and analysis. Includes flow diagrams-to accompany several of the more important analysis/design procedures. (See Appendix B, Section B-2)· Provides readers with a clear visual that is easy-to-follow.· Reinforces a systematic approach to problem solving and the development of logical and rational thought processes. Introduces metrication-in Appendix C.· Includes several example problems.· Gives readers an introduction to metrication as it applies to reinforced concrete.
