Product Description


Reinforced concrete design encompases both the art and science of engineering. This book presents the theory of reinforced concrete as a direct application of the laws of statics and mechanics of materials. In addition, it emphasizes that a successful design not only satisfies design rules, but also is capable of being built in a timely fashion and for a reasonable cost. A multi-tiered approach makes Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design an outstanding textbook for a variety of university courses on reinforced concrete design. Topics are normally introduced at a fundamental level, and then move to higher levels where prior educational experience and the development of engineering judgment will be required.

Product Review Summary: A Standard Established Text Book

Prof. J. K. Wight, who was the Chairman of the committee, which revised the current ACI 318 code has joined with professor J.G. MacGregor (who also is a past President of ACI and chaired several ACI & Canadian code committees) in writing the fifth edition of this standard, well established and popular text book. Their experience is distilled in this well written book, which covers both theoretical as well as practical aspects of reinforced concrete structures. The ACI code clauses are well explained with examples. Though the book a bit expensive, it contains 1112 pages of useful information which includes several figures, tables, photos, charts and several worked out examples. A few examples are also in SI units and equations are presented in SI units also throughout this book.

Hope in future editions the authors will include a CD containing some spreadsheets for the design of various elements. I would recommend this book to any one interested in reinforced concrete design.

Product Review Summary: A Great Reinforced Concrete Design Book

This is my favorite Concrete design book of all time. It is my first reference to anything regarding design. It is an excellent reference for students and engineers as well. I used it a lot for my graduate classes and I always use it in my office. Highly recommended!!

Product Review Summary: excelent

I receipt the book very quikly and in excelent conditios of use, as a new book.

Product Review Summary: It is good!!!
