Structural concrete: theory & design (4^th Ed.)

Fourth Edition of a textbook designed for a two-course sequence on structural concrete design and analysis. Emphasizing a conceptual understanding of concrete design and analysis, the book builds the student's understanding by presenting design methods in an easy to understand manner supported with the use of numerous examples and problems. Updated for the latest ACI 318-08 code, this new edition includes up-to-date coverage of seismic design, including IBC 2006 references, the AASHTO method for predicting creep and shrinkage in concrete, and a new chapter on the design of curved beams.
