Reinforced Concrete Design

Reinforced Concrete Design, 7e provides a non-calculus, practical approach to the design, analysis, and detailing of reinforced concrete structural members using numerous examples and a step-by-step solution format. Written with practicality and accessibility in mind, the text does not require calculus; it focuses on the math and fundamentals that are most appropriate for construction, architectural, and engineering technology programs. Revised to conform to the latest ACI code (ACI 318-08), this edition retains its unique chapters on prestressed concrete, formwork design and detailing, expanded coverage of columns, over 150 homework problems, and numerous sample problems complete with step-by-step solutions.

Spiegel and Limbrunner completely revise this book to conform to the latest American Concrete Institute Building Code (ACI 318-89). Practical and straight-forward, this problem/solution oriented approach explores the design and analysis of reinforced concrete structural members. Written at an appropriate mathematical level for engineering technology, treatments are simple and appropriate. The strength method is utilized (in accordance with ACI 318-89), and special chapters are furnished to provide a conceptual approach on topics such as prestressed concrete and the detailing of reinforced concrete structures.
