The latest revision of the Code was published in 2014 and represents the state-of-the-art of the current knowledge in concreteandreinforcedconcretedesign.Thisrevision,ACI318-14,formsthebasis ofthesecondeditionofthistextbook. Thebookretainsthefeaturesthatmadeitwellreceivedbystudents,instructors, and practitioners alike. The popular step-by-step approach of problem solving, augmented by flowcharts and supported by numerical solutions, clearly describes the processes that need to be followed to provide safe and economical designs of reinforced concrete components. The self-experiments included at the end of the chaptershelpstudentsbetterunderstandthebehaviorofconcretestructuresthrough theconstructionandtestingofscaledmodels. To make the book more useful to students in Construction Engineering pro- grams,anewchapter(Chapter8)onformworksformonolithicconcreteconstruc- tionhasbeenadded.Thischaptercoversthefundamentalsofformworkandshoring design, and detailed step-by-step solutions of numerical problems along with mathematical formulae and tables to help students and practitioners to design these temporary structures. In addition, to provide more visual clarifications of the topics discussed in the book, a new appendix (Appendix B) is added, which includes color images of various stages of concrete construction and completed buildings.

Chapter1coversthetopicofconcretetechnology.Itdiscussesthemostimpor- tantproperties ofthemain componentsofreinforced concrete.Thistechnology is essentialforbotharchitectureandengineeringstudents. Chapter 2 discusses the analysis and design of rectangular beams and one-way slabs,includingacompletetreatmentoftheUnifiedDesignMethodasrecommended by the ACI 318-05. Several examples demonstrate the provisions of the latest changesintheACICode.Itiswrittentobenefitarchitectureandengineeringstudents aswell.Dependingonthemainobjectivesofthecourseandclasstimeconstraints, the instructor can select the specific topics and their details to be included for the intendedaudience. Chapter 3 “Special Topics in Flexure” covers T-beams, doubly reinforced beams, and a discussion of the deflection of reinforced concrete beams and slabs. These topics aremorecomplex,butindispensable inthedesignofconcrete struc- tures. The detailed technical information presented is essential for engineering students. We recommend that only a brief discussion of each topic be used in coursesforarchitecturestudents. Chapter 4 “Shear in Reinforced Concrete Beams” covers the design of shear reinforcements in reinforced concrete beams. We consider this chapter to be important in both engineering and architecture courses. The depth of coverage maybelefttothediscretionoftheinstructor. Chapter 5 covers the analysis and design of reinforced concrete columns. It includes a complete treatment of “short” columns with small and large eccen- tricities. Because most reinforced concrete columns are short and a complete treatment of slender columns is usually only covered in advanced engineering ix

Description:
This revised, fully updated second edition covers the analysis, design, and construction of reinforced concrete structures from a real-world perspective. It examines different reinforced concrete elements such as slabs, beams, columns, foundations, basement and retaining walls and pre-stressed concr
