This
new, fourth edition gives practicing engineers ways to reduce the
design time, while still complying with the letter and intent of the ACI
Standard 318, Building Code Requirements for Structural
Concrete.
The simplified design procedures presented in this book are an attempt to
satisfy the various design considerations that need to be addressed in the
structural design and detailing of primary framing members of a reinforced
concrete building by the simplest and quickest procedures possible. It aims to
arrange the information in the code in an organized step-by-step procedure for
the building and member design. The formulae and language avoid complicated
legal terminology without changing the intent or the objective of the
code.
This
bestselling publication is based on ACI 318-11. The seismic and wind load
provisions were updated to comply with the International Building Code (2009
IBC). Throughout the first eleven chapters, equations, design aids, graphs, and
code requirements have been updated to the current Codes. New timesaving design
aids were added to expand the use of the book to a wider range of concrete
strengths. Also, expanded illustrations of the theory and fundamentals were
added. Also, a new chapter on
sustainable design (Chapter 12) has been included to introduce the key ideas
addressed by today’s green design approaches and ways in which concrete can be
used to build sustainably.
Simplified
equations, design aids, graphs, and clarification of code requirements are
provided throughout for use by engineering professionals seeking ways to speed
and simplify their design procedures. Numerous solved examples illustrate the
use of the simplified methods and are compared with exact analysis results from
software.
The
publication contains twelve chapters covering the design and requirements for
beams, one-way slab, two-way slab systems, columns, structural walls, footings,
structural detailing, formwork, fire resistance, earthquake forces and
"Introduction to Sustainable Design."
