Product Description
Book Description
This text is intended primarily for third- or fourth-year Civil Engineering students at Canadian universities. It can also be used in graduate courses.
Thoroughly Canadianized, this text provides accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive coverage of Canadian engineering design and practice. The First Canadian Edition of Reinforced Concrete has been adapted from the U.S. third edition text to reflect the Canadian concrete design code: A23.3-94 Design of Concrete Structures issued by the Canadian Standards Association. With the exception of the CPCA Concrete Design Handbook, this is the first Canadian textbook that is compatible with the current Canadian design code. (The CPCA Handbook, while used in many Canadian engineering programs, is not considered an adequate learning tool for students). In our book, the theory and practice of reinforced concrete design is explained in a systematic and clear fashion—with an abundance of step-by-step worked examples, illustrations, and diagrams. The focus is on preparing students to make the many judgement decisions required in reinforced concrete design. Lead author James MacGregor is a renowned authority on reinforced concrete design. He has been a distinguished teacher and a member of various code committees in Canada.

Codes out of date,

This review is from: Reinforced Concrete: Mechanism and Design (Canadian Edition) (Paperback)
Its a really great book but there needs to be an updated version. The Canadian code was updated in 2004 (6 years ago). Its a bit frustrating having to correct the clauses and the referenced equations from the updated code.

excellent examples,
By Bob McBob (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design (Paperback)
As a student, this book proved to be a vital supplement to lecture topics concerning both the design and analysis of reinforced concrete. I would recommend having at least some understanding of structual mechanics and concrete material properties and behavior before buying this text though. It can be best used by upperclassmen undergrads and by professionals who need to brush up on basic concrete design skills. Covers analysis and design of beams with tension and compression steel, transverse reinforcement design, deflections, torsion, one-way and two-way slabs, continuous beams and more. It is HIGHLY recommended that you supplement this book with the current ACI building code for concrete.

This review is from: Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design (Paperback)
A comprehensive book, explains all concepts in detail. Suitable as a textbook for beginners as well as a reference for practising engineers. I enjoyed the chapters on torsion, short columns, slender columns,and strut and tie models.
