This 4th edition of Edward G Nawy's highly acclaimed work reflects the ACI-99 Building Code and includes these major changes and additions:
- Numerous alternate solutions using SI Units and lists of equations in SI format for the various topics.
- A completely rewritten chapter on seismic design of buildings to comply with the major changes in the ACI 318 Code and detailing the new 2000 International Building Code (2000 IBC) provisions on seismic design which replaced all other existing codes in the US. The chapter has several new examples on confinement, shear wall design, and detailing in accordance with the 2000 IBC.
- A new section with design examples on the new provisions for crack control.
- A new section on flexure using the limits strain approach of Appendix B in the ACI Code. All examples in the previous edition using the standard stress approach have also been solved by the strain limits approach.
- A new section on biaxial bending with new design examples using the reciprocal load approach as well as an easier to use Modified Load Contour method.
- A comprehensive chapter on concrete materials and design of concrete mixtures for normal strength and for high strength, high performance concretes.
A self-contained textbook, it can be used for a one-semester undergraduate level course and a one-semester graduate level course in reinforced concrete in standard civil engineering programs.
It is equally useful for the practicing engineer. It is the only book that closely and systematically uses and follows procedures in numerous flowcharts within each chapter that simplify the understanding and application of the subject design.
This volume provides thorough coverage of short and long term material behavior, design of concrete mixtures, reliability and structural safety, serviceability behavior of beams and two-way slabs and plate systems, continuity in concrete structures, and seismic design of high rise buildings in earthquake zones.
It has an appendix on computer programs in Q-Basic, with typical program documentation and solutions, and an extended appendix of nomograms and tables. Comprehensive sketches and sets of working drawings, end-of-chapter problems, pictures of actual structural tests to failure, and flowcharts appear throughout the book.
