This book explains the theory and practice of reinforced concrete design in a systematic and clear fashion with an abundance of step-by-step worked examples, illustrations, and photographs. This book focuses on preparing readers to make the many judgment decisions required in reinforced concrete design. Coverage includes flexure, torsion, continuous beams, columns, two-way slabs, footing, walls, design for earthquake resistance, and more. For professionals in the field who need a comprehensive reference on concrete structures and the design of reinforced concrete.

excellent examples December 17, 2000

As a student, this book proved to be a vital supplement to lecture topics concerning both the design and analysis of reinforced concrete. I would recommend having at least some understanding of structual mechanics and concrete material properties and behavior before buying this text though. It can be best used by upperclassmen undergrads and by professionals who need to brush up on basic concrete design skills. Covers analysis and design of beams with tension and compression steel, transverse reinforcement design, deflections, torsion, one-way and two-way slabs, continuous beams and more. It is HIGHLY recommended that you supplement this book with the current ACI building code for concrete.

A comprehensive book, explains all concepts in detail. Suitable as a textbook for beginners as well as a reference for practising engineers. I enjoyed the chapters on torsion, short columns, slender columns,and strut and tie models.
Even Better with New Co-Author August 10, 2005

This book was already one of the best concrete design texts and is even better with the addition of the new co-author James Wight, who adds valuable information on the design of concrete structures to resist seismic forces. There are a few minor errors in the examples that still exist from the 3rd edition, but they are minor and the examples are detailed enough that the corrections are usually forthcoming. I recently finished a MS in Structural Engineering focusing on concrete design and this book (3rd edition) was one of the 2 or 3 that I found myself referring to most often.

This is unquestionably the authority in reinforced concrete design. It is an excellent reference manual for teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Every structural engineer should have a copy of this reference.
Informative and Illustrative June 3, 2000

This book is great in this sense that it illustrates the philosophy behind the numbers used in ACI code and the limit states of each design parameter. It is great for understanding the behavior of reinforced structural systems as well as practical design.
