Structural Concrete: Theory and Design by M. Nadim Hassoun (Author) delves into the latest advancements in concrete structural design and analysis, reflecting the most recent ACI 318-14 code updates. This sixth edition is designed to enhance a conceptual understanding of the subject while integrating relevant standards and codes. The book offers a clear and straightforward explanation, enriched with numerous examples and practice problems that facilitate real-world application comprehension. Each chapter includes SI unit examples alongside US-SI conversion factors, and SI unit design tables are provided for reference.
Known for its exceptional weather-resistance and stability, concrete is widely used in civil and structural engineering projects. This book provides comprehensive guidance on reinforced concrete design, covering new practices such as the use of rebar and steel beams during casting and the growing prevalence of pre-cast concrete elements. It addresses how these materials contribute to better quality control, special admixtures, and innovative shapes that are difficult to achieve in situ.
With its extensive content (1072 pages) and focus on practical application, this edition is an invaluable resource for students, professionals, and engineers seeking the latest information on structural concrete design. The publication date is March 30, 2015, with ISBN-13: 978-1118767818.
