This comprehensive guide to reinforced concrete structures has been fully revised to cover 2014 updates to the ACI 318 Structural Concrete code This comprehensive guide to reinforced concrete structures has been fully revised to cover 2014 updates to the ACI 318 Structural Concrete code Reinforced Concrete Structures: Analysis and Design, Second Edition offers clear explanations of the underlying principles behind reinforced concrete design and provides easy-to-follow analysis, design, and construction techniques. This edition has been thoroughly updated to conform to the new ACI 2014 Building Code.This authoritative resource discusses reinforced concrete members and provides techniques for sizing the cross section, calculating the required amount of reinforcement, and detailing the reinforcement. Brand-new information is included on earthquake design and detailing. Easy-to-follow design procedures and illuminating flowcharts guide you through complex code requirements.• Concisely explains every provision in the 2014 ACI 318 Structural Concrete code• Features a new chapter on design and detailing for earthquake effects• Solved problems and real-world examples demonstrate each provision’s proper application• Author has written numerous technical publications on the design of reinforced concrete and load determination

Reinforced Concrete Structures explains the underlying principles of reinforced concrete design and covers the analysis, design, and detailing requirements in the 2008 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary and the 2009 International Code Council (ICC) International Building Code (IBC). This authoritative resource discusses reinforced concrete members and provides techniques for sizing the cross section, calculating the required amount of reinforcement, and detailing the reinforcement. Design procedures and flowcharts guide you through code requirements, and worked-out examples demonstrate the proper application of the design provisions. Coverage Includes: mechanics of reinforced concrete; material properties of concrete and reinforcing steel; considerations for analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures; requirements for strength and serviceability; principles of the strength design method; and, design and detailing requirements for beams, one-way slabs, two-way slabs, columns, walls, and foundations.
