Structural Concrete: Theory and Design (6th Edition) – eBook PDF
The most up to date structural concrete text, with the latest ACI revisions
Structural Concrete: Theory and Design, 6th edition (PDF) is the bestselling textbook on concrete structural design and analysis, providing the latest information and clear explanation in an easy to understand style. Newly updated to reflect the latest ACI 318-14 code, this sixth edition emphasizes a conceptual understanding of the subject and builds the engineer student’s body of knowledge by presenting design methods alongside relevant standards and code. Numerous examples and practice problems help readers grasp the real-world application of the industry’s best practices, with explanations and insight on the extensive ACI revision. Every chapter features examples using SI units and US-SI conversion factors, and SI unit design tables are included for reference.
Exceptional weather-resistance and stability make concrete a preferred construction material for most parts of the world. For structural and civil engineering applications, rebar and steel beams are generally added during casting to provide additional support. Pre-cast concrete is becoming increasingly common, allowing better quality control, the use of special admixtures, and the production of innovative shapes that would be too complex to construct on site. This ebook provides complete guidance toward all aspects of reinforced concrete design, including the ACI revisions that address these new practices.
- Understand shear, axial loading, diagonal tension, and torsion
- Design retaining walls, footings, slender columns, stairs, and more
- Learn planning considerations for reinforced beams and strut and tie
- Review the properties of reinforced concrete, with models for creep and shrink
The American Concrete Institute updates structural concrete code approximately every three years, and it’s critical that engineering students learn the most recent standards and best practices. Structural Concrete 6th edition provides the most up to date information, with intuitive explanation and detailed guidance.
