Reinforced Concrete: A Fundamental Approach - Vol.1

Now reflecting the new 2008 ACI 318-08 Code and the new International Building Code (IBC-2006), this cutting-edge text has been extensively revised to present state-of-the-art developments in reinforced concrete.The text analyzes the design of reinfo rced concrete members through a unique and practical step-by-step trial and adjustment procedure. It is supplemented with flowcharts that guide readers logically through key features and underlying theory. Hundreds of photos of tests to failure of c o ncrete elements help readers visualize this behavior.Ideal for practicing engineers who need to contend with the new revisions of the ACI, IBC, and AASHTO Codes.
