Reinforced Concrete: A Fundamental Approach (4th Edition)

Extensively revised to reflect the new ACI 318 Building Code, this cutting-edge book analyzes the design of reinforced concrete members through a unique and practical step-by-step trial and adjustment procedure. Expanded material on the second order analysis of compression members and slender columns. Familiarizes readers with the properties of plain concrete and its components prior to embarking on the study of structural behavior. For civil engineers interested in updating their knowledge of the new ACI 318 Building Code.

DR. EDWARD G. NAWY, distinguished professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has been active in the ACI and PCI since 1949 and is internationally recognized for his extensive research work in the fields of reinforced and prestressed concrete, particularly in the areas of serviceability and crack control. Dr. Nawy's work has been published in technical journals worldwide (over 160 technical papers). He is the author of Simplified Reinforced Concrete (1986), Prestressed Concrete (3rd Ed., 2000), both published by Prentice Hall, High Strength High Concrete Construction Engineering Handbook (1998) published by CRC Press. He is recipient of several major awards, including the Henry L. Kennedy Award of the American Concrete Institute, is a licensed Professional Engineer in the States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California and Florida, Evaluator for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), and has been a consultant in structural engineering throughout the United States.
