Product Details

Product Description

Book Description

The 13th edition of the classic text, Design of Concrete Structures, is completely revised using the newly released 2002 American Concrete Institute (ACI) 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.

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.

First Sentence
Concrete is a stonelike material obtained by permitting a carefully proportioned mixture of cement, sand and gravel or other aggregate, and water to harden in forms of the shape and dimensions of the desired structure. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars The most integrated book covering the subject, Oct 18 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Design of Concrete Structures (Hardcover)
I've been using this book for more than 12 years of practice (several editions) and I found it's the best for both students and practicing engineers. One of the good things about it is that it covers the theory as well as the code provisons for practice and makes the logical connections in the shortest wy it can be done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful and comprehensive book for practitioners, May 22 2001
By M. A. Adnan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Design of Concrete Structures (Hardcover)
This book is very good for practitioners who need to look up something they have forgotten. It can be useful for beginning students, but as far as understanding concepts is concerned, MacGregor's is the best. For a beginner, Nilson's book sometimes gets too cluttered. MacGregor's book covers almost everything in Nilson's book, but with greater emphasis on conceptual understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, April 12 2007
By Narayanan Subramanian - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Design of Concrete Structures (Hardcover)
The notable thing about this Book by Nilson, Darwin and Dolan is that it covers not only the Design of Concrete Structures but also the the behavior of various elements, an understanding of which is absolutely necessary for the design Engineer. The background of the provisions of ACI 318 code is clearly explained. The examples and homework problems may be quite useful to the students. It also covers emerging topics such as strut-and-tie models, which are useful in situations when the usual beam theories are not valid. The text also presents Earthquake detailing and the various types of structural systems applications, which are of great help to the practising engineers. Hope they will bring out the 14th edition soon, in line with ACI 318-2005.
