The fourth edition of Jack McCormac's textbook, Design of Reinforced Concrete, continues the successful tradition of earlier editions by introducing the fundamentals of reinforced concrete design in a manner that stimulates interest in the subject. Known for its clear explanations, the book is especially appropriate for students just beginning their study in reinforced concrete. The new edition has been updated to reflect the changes in the 1995 ACI Building Code and the chapters on beam-columns have been improved as a result. New homework problems have been added throughout the text. As with the previous edition, the text comes with a Windows-based software package which features many challenging reinforced concrete exercises that allows students to change problems and still obtain immediate answers.
