This revised, fully updated second edition covers the analysis, design, and construction of reinforced concrete structures from a realworld perspective. It examines different reinforced concrete elements such as slabs, beams, columns, foundations, basement and retaining walls and prestressed concrete incorporating the most uptodate edition of the American Concrete Institute Code (ACI 31814) requirements for the design of concrete structures. It includes a chapter on metric system in reinforced concrete design and construction. A new chapter on the design of formworks has been added which is of great value to students in the construction engineering programs along with practicing engineers and architects. This second edition also includes a new appendix with color images illustrating various concrete construction practices, and welldesigned buildings. The ACI 31814 constitutes the most extensive reorganization of the code in the past 40 years. References to the various sections of the ACI 31814 are provided throughout the book to facilitate its use by students and professionals. Aimed at architecture, building construction, and undergraduate engineering students, the scope of concepts in this volume emphasize simplified and practical methods in the analysis and design of reinforced concrete. This is distinct from advanced, graduate engineering texts, where treatment of the subject centers around the theoretical and mathematical aspects of design. As in the first edition, this book adopts a stepbystep approach to solving analysis and design problems in reinforced concrete. Using a highly graphical and interactive approach in its use of detailed images and selfexperimentation exercises, Concrete Structures, Second Edition, is tailored to the most practical questions and fundamental concepts of design of structures in reinforced concrete. The text stands as an ideal learning resource for civil engineering, building construction, and architecture students as well as a valuable reference for concrete structural design professionals in practice.
