Description
Book Synopsis: Design of Concrete Structures has been completely revised using the newly released 2014 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Building Code. This new edition has the same dual objectives as the previous editions: first to establish a firm understanding of the behavior of structural concrete, then to develop proficiency in the methods used in current design practice. Every chapter has been updated to account for the reorganization of the 2014 American Concrete Institute Building Code. A new chapter on anchoring to concrete is included, as well as a chapter on walls, doubling the coverage and adding design examples. Diaphragms are included for the first time, as well as updated coverage of seismic design. Also included in this edition is the modified compression field theory method of shear design presented in the 2012 edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.
Details
Looking to design concrete structures that are both strong and reliable? Look no further! Our newly revised edition of the "Design of Concrete Structures" book is the ultimate guide for all your structural design needs. This edition incorporates the latest 2014 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Building Code, ensuring that you have access to the most up-to-date industry standards.
What sets this book apart is its dual objectives. First and foremost, it provides a comprehensive understanding of the behavior of structural concrete. This knowledge serves as a solid foundation upon which you can build your expertise. Secondly, the book equips you with the practical methods used in current design practice, enabling you to confidently tackle any project that comes your way.
We have taken great care to update each chapter of this edition to reflect the new organization of the 2014 ACI Building Code. As a result, you have access to the most accurate and relevant information. Additionally, we have expanded the content by including a dedicated chapter on anchoring to concrete and another chapter on walls. This doubling of coverage ensures that you have access to a wide range of design examples, making it easier than ever to implement your ideas.
But that's not all! In response to industry demands, we have introduced a chapter on diaphragms for the first time. Furthermore, the seismic design coverage has been updated to ensure that you are equipped to handle projects in high-risk areas. The modified compression field theory method of shear design, as presented in the 2012 edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, has also been included in this edition.
To unlock the potential of your designs, get your hands on the "Design of Concrete Structures" book today. Explore the latest industry standards, learn from real-world design examples, and enhance your proficiency in structural concrete.
