| The 13th edition of the classic text, Design of Concrete Structures, is completely revised using the newly released 2002 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Code.
Design of Concrete Structures covers the behavior and design aspects of concrete and provides thoroughly updated examples and homework problems throughout. The 13th edition also features a new chapter, Chapter 10, covering strut-and-tie models.
The text also presents the basic mechanics of structural concrete and methods for the design of individual members for bending, shear, torsion, and axial force, and provides detail in the various types of structural systems applications.
Notable features include:
- Completely updated text, examples, and homework problems following the newly released 2002 ACI Code.
- Completely redrafted and updated art program.
- Redesigned interior of text for a new, open look.
- Thoroughly rewritten Chapter 3 on Flexural Analysis and Design.
- A brand new chapter on strut-and-tie models, Chapter 10, complements the emphasis on the approach throughout the text.
- Expanded guidance on preliminary design and guidelines for proportioning members in Chapter 12.
- Updated design procedures for prestressed concrete in Chapter 19.
- A thoroughly revised description of loading criteria and design requirements for seismic design in Chapter 20.
- Text is lent an "engineering" flavor by the applications that reflect the authors' practical experience.
