Product Description Newly revised to reflect the latest developments in the field, this thoroughly updated eighth edition of Reinforced Concrete Design incorporates the changes in design rules arising from the publication of the 2014 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Building Code and Commentary (ACI 318-14). Review "I particularly like how the authors have kept the text up-to-date by gradually incorporating design procedures, like strut and tie models, that have been added to the ACI code. This text is comparable with others in terms of topics but superior in coverage. I see this book as an investment. The material in it is covered in enough depth for it to remain relevant for many years."--Sergio F. Breña, University of Massachusetts Amherst The detailed treatment of almost all topics [and] [t]he good numerical examples [set it apart from other texts in this field]. - Apostolos Fafitis, Arizona State University "The abundant end-of-chapter problems are an excellent feature of this text. Example problems have figures that represent the problems well and clarify the solutions. With these features, Reinforced Concrete Design, Eighth Edition, presents the content more clearly than other texts do."--Levon Minnetyan, Clarkson University "A solid textbook written by well-qualified experts in the field that can serve students beyond their education as a reference for practicing reinforced concrete design, this book is still one of my favorites."--Ayman M. Okeil, Louisiana State University "A very comprehensive and practical book. The new additions on material properties, walls, and composite design are helpful for students. The focus on the 2014 ACI building code is particularly exciting."--Nima Rahbar, Worcester Polytechnic Institute About the Author The late Chu-Kia Wang taught Civil Engineering at the University of Wisconsin at Madison for over 30 years.
