[request_ebook] structural concrete theory and design 4th edition

The Fourth Edition of Structural Concrete: Theory and Design brings this text fully up to date while

maintaining its acclaimed easy-to-follow, logical approach. Working with the text's numerous stepby-

step examples, students quickly grasp the principles and techniques of analyzing and designing

reinforced and prestressed concrete elements. Moreover, the authors' emphasis on a top quality,

economical approach helps students design concrete structures and members with confidence.

Fully updated and revised, the Fourth Edition features:

- Latest coverage reflecting the ACI 318-08 code

- Seismic design chapter incorporates the latest of the International Building Code (IBC 2006)

- AASHTO method for predicting concrete creep and shrinkage

- New chapter dedicated to the design of curved beams

- SI unit examples, equivalent conversion factors from customary units to SI units, and SI unit

design tables

Practical problems in each chapter enable students to apply and assess their knowledge as they

advance through the text. The text's companion Web site gives students more opportunities to

apply their knowledge, with such features as MS Excel spreadsheets that offer an interactive

environment for evaluating different design aspects of concrete members.

This text is an outgrowth of the two authors' lecture notes, reflecting more than twenty-five years

of both classroom teaching and industrial experience. It is structured to cover a two-course

sequence on the design of reinforced concrete structures as well as provide a comprehensive up-todate

reference for practicing engineers.
