Reinforced Concrete Fundamentals

This textbook demonstrates the behaviour of reinforced concrete members and assemblages at every load stage. Calculation models that relate to the physical behaviours are provided to help students recognize and assess various design situations. Design of Prestressed Concrete Second Edition Arthur H. Nilson This revision of a popular text discusses the behavior, analysis, and design of prestressed concrete structures. Changes in the new edition include a new emphasis on partially prestressed concrete members, flexural strength calculations, deflection calculations, and crack width calculations, along with new information on high-strength materials and more. 1987 (0 471-83072-0) 592 pp. Design of Prestressed Concrete Structures Third Edition Tung Yed Lin and Ned H. Burns Lin and Burns develop the basic ideas of prestressed concrete by joining the fundamentals of material mechanics with high-quality materials (steel and concrete). Analysis and design are stressed in this fully updated third edition which incorporates the latest theoretical and experimental research. Basic principles are illustrated by a wealth of short numerical problems—a feature that has ensured the continuing popularity of this bestseller. 1981 (0 471-01898-8) 646 pp. This Fifth Edition maintains the basic Ferguson approach in which design procedures stem from and provide the basis for a clear understanding of the behavior of reinforced concrete. Behavior of reinforced concrete members and assemblages at every load stage is illustrated with illustrations and photos, and calculation models that relate to the physical behaviors are provided to help students and practitioners recognize and assess various design situations. To avoid confusion, many of the examples now use customary or English units, rather than SI units as in the Fourth Edition. This edition conforms to the technical changes in the '83 and '86 revisions to the ACI Building Code. In this edition, service load analysis of stresses, computuations of deflection and distribution of reinforcement to control crack widths have been incorporated with the sections that treat analysis and design of flexural members. Material relating to seismic design has been revised and expanded, and more emphasis has been placed on developing conceptual models for design.
