""The material is presented in a basic and intuitive manner. The book emphasizes basic concepts and gets those concepts across in a manner a novice structural engineer can grasp. The book does not lose sight of big-picture design decisions and does not get bogged down with prescriptive code clauses.""-Wassim Ghannoum, University of Texas at Austin, USA""...presents a terrific overview of fundamental techniques in reinforced concrete design. Unique to this textbook is the author's detailed introduction of the history and evolution of reinforced concrete. By showing students how the technical chal.
""The book covers fundamental concepts related to mechanics and direct observation, and those required to design reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Codes change constantly over time depending on factors that have little to do with the fundamental concepts mentioned, and have more to do with the markets, construction practices, and transient academic views. For beginning engineers it is difficult to distinguish between rules based on consensus (codes) and fundamentals. This book focuses on the latter to prepare the engineer to use and adapt to the constant changes of the former. "--"
