Synopses & Reviews
Using a straight-forward, step-by-step, problem-solution format–with an abundance of fully-worked sample problems–this book provides an elementary, non-Calculus, practical approach to the design and analysis of reinforced concrete structural members. It translates a vast amount of information and data in an integrated source that reflects the latest standards and that provides a basic, workable understanding of the strength and behavior of reinforced concrete members and simple concrete structural systems. A valuable design guide and resource for practicing technicians and technologists, and engineers and architects preparing for state licensing examinations for professional registrations.
Synopsis
This text provides the reader with a basic understanding of the strength and behavior of reinforced concrete members and simple reinforced concrete structural systems using an elementary, noncalculus, practical approach. The intent is to translate the vast amount of research and literature about reinforced concrete into an integrated source that reflects the most up-to-date information. It should serve as a valuable design guide and resource for technologists, technicians, and engineering and architectural students. Some of the key features include:
- Information that conforms to the latest American Concrete Institute's Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete.
- Numerous examples and a step-by-step solution format.
- Additional homework problems, including spreadsheets.
- Introduction of the metric system in a separate appendix with several example problems.
- A chapter illustrating a procedure for the design of job-built forms for slabs, beams, and columns.
