SynopsisThe most up to date structural concrete text, with the latest ACI revisions Structural Concrete is the bestselling text on concrete structural design and analysis, providing the latest information and clear explanation in an easy to understand style., THE BESTSELLING STRUCTURAL CONCRETE TEXT, UPDATED WITH EXTENSIVE ACI REVISIONS Structural Concrete, Sixth Edition provides complete guidance for the design and analysis of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. This update emphasizes a conceptual understanding of the subject, and builds the student's body of knowledge by presenting design methods alongside relevant standards and codes, including coverage of recent ACI revisions. Numerous examples help readers grasp the real-world application of the industry's best practices, with SI units, problems and step-by-step design procedures. The authors' decades of experience in industry and academia provide a strong foundation for learning, while the clear explanations guide students through vital information including: The latest ACI 318-14 revisions that address the new ways concrete structures are designed, built, and used The physical properties of reinforced concrete, with the latest models for shrinkage and creep predictions Special chapter on system design of reinforced concrete building structures Critical mechanical engineering concepts such as shear, diagonal tension, axial loading, and torsion Design considerations for reinforced concrete beams using ACI and AASHTO strut and tie methods Specific approaches to the design of retaining walls, footings, slender columns, stairs, and more Seismic design and analysis of concrete structures utilizing latest ASCE and IBC codes Prestressed concrete bridge design according to AASHTO specifications Structural Concrete, Sixth Edition arms students with the tools, understanding, and confidence they need to design safe and reliable concrete structures., The most up to date structural concrete text, with the latestACI revisions Structural Concrete is the bestselling text on concretestructural design and analysis, providing the latest informationand clear explanation in an easy to understand style. Newly updatedto reflect the latest ACI 318-14 code, this sixth editionemphasizes a conceptual understanding of the subject, and buildsthe student's body of knowledge by presenting design methodsalongside relevant standards and code. Numerous examples andpractice problems help readers grasp the real-world application ofthe industry's best practices, with explanations and insight on theextensive ACI revision. Each chapter features examples using SIunits and US-SI conversion factors, and SI unit design tables areincluded for reference. Exceptional weather-resistance and stability make concrete apreferred construction material for most parts of the world. Forcivil and structural engineering applications, rebar and steelbeams are generally added during casting to provide additionalsupport. Pre-cast concrete is becoming increasingly common,allowing better quality control, the use of special admixtures, andthe production of innovative shapes that would be too complex toconstruct on site. This book provides complete guidance toward allaspects of reinforced concrete design, including the ACI revisionsthat address these new practices. Review the properties of reinforced concrete, with models forshrink and creep Understand shear, diagonal tension, axial loading, andtorsion Learn planning considerations for reinforced beams and strutand tie Design retaining walls, footings, slender columns, stairs, andmore The American Concrete Institute updates structural concrete codeapproximately every three years, and it's critical that studentslearn the most recent standards and best practices.
