-James G. MacGregor, James K. Wight / Hardcover 1314 pages, 4rd Edition / Published December 2004
This latest edition of reinforced concrete construction presenting the theory of reinforced concrete design as a direct
application of the laws of statics and behavior of reinforced concrete. Explains the theory and practice of reinforced
concrete design in a systematic and clear fashion with an abundance of step-by-step worked examples, illustrations,
and photographs. Emphasizes that a successful design must not only satisfy the design equations, but practical
construction aspects as well. Numerous examples are all worked out completely step-by-step. Coverage includes flexure,
torsion, continuous beams, columns, two-way slabs, footing, walls, design for earthquake resistance, and more. Includes
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. Includes detailed treatments of flexure, shear, development and
columns at a level suitable for undergraduate use, as well as the more difficult areas of strain compatibility solutions
of beams, strut-and-tie models, and design for earthquake resistance.
