Reinforced Concrete Design

This text provides the reader with a basic understanding of the strength and behavior of reinforced concrete members and simple reinforced concrete structural systems using an elementary, noncalculus, practical approach. The intent is to translate the vast amount of research and literature about reinforced concrete into an integrated source that reflects the most up-to-date information. It should serve as a valuable design guide and resource for technologists, technicians, and engineering and architectural students. Some of the key features include: Information that conforms to the latest American Concrete Institute'sBuilding Code Requirements for Structural Concrete. Numerous examples and a step-by-step solution format. Additional homework problems, including spreadsheets. Introduction of the metric system in a separate appendix with several example problems. A chapter illustrating a procedure for the design of job-built forms for slabs, beams, and columns.Spiegel, Leonard F. is the author of 'Reinforced Concrete Design', published 2002 under ISBN 9780130924261 and ISBN 0130924261.
