With its accessible approach and streamlined coverage of theory, engineers will quickly learn how to apply the concepts in the eighth editionof Design of Reinforced Concrete

The contents have been updated to conform to the 2008 building code of the American Concrete Institute (ACI 318-08).

Features of this edition:

• New spreadsheets are included that arm the reader with tools to analyze and design reinforced concrete elements and quickly compare alternative solutions
• A new chapter on seismic design explores the issues related to the design of reinforced concrete structures to resist earthquakes
• The new materials section also provides engineers with details and examples on how to design shear walls for combined axial load and bending moment
