Reinforced concrete design (7^th Ed.)

Provides a philosophical approach to reinforced concrete design that has gained wide acceptance since the first edition was published in 1965. The strength and behavior of concrete elements are treated with the primary objective of explaining and justifying the rules and formulas of the ACI Building Code. This edition has a new co-author who teaches at one of the top schools for concrete design. Emphasis throughout on the ACI approach involving strength and serviceability "limit states" and factored loads. Up to date, reflecting recent changes that have occurred in design procedures for reinforced concrete structures.
