Description - Structural Concrete by M. Nadim Hassoun
The most up to date structural concrete text, with the latest
ACI revisions
Structural Concrete is the bestselling text 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 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. Each 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
civil and structural 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 book provides complete guidance toward all
aspects of reinforced concrete design, including the ACI revisions
that address these new practices.
Review the properties of reinforced concrete, with models for
shrink and creep
Understand shear, diagonal tension, axial loading, and
torsion
Learn planning considerations for reinforced beams and strut
and tie
Design retaining walls, footings, slender columns, stairs, and
more
The American Concrete Institute updates structural concrete code
approximately every three years, and it's critical that students
learn the most recent standards and best practices. Structural
Concrete provides the most up to date information, with
intuitive explanation and detailed guidance.
