Structural Concrete: Theory and Design FROM THE PUBLISHER
Structural Concrete: Theory and Design, 2e presents the analysis and design of both reinforced and prestressed concrete elements in an exceptionally logical and easy-to-read manner. In this textbook, M. Nadim Hassoun covers two courses in concrete design, one at the junior/senior level and one as a graduate course, Advance Reinforced Concrete. The book should also serve as a valuable reference for the practicing engineer and those interested in concrete materials and design.
The second edition revises the previous text to conform to the latest ACI Code 318-99. New features in the Second Edition include: Latest ACI Code requirements incorporated throughout. New section on understanding the accuracy of calculations in engineering design. Additional easy-to-follow examples are introduced in Chapters 3 and 4. New Structural Aid tables added as Appendix C to help students to determine the moment, shear, and deflection for simple and continuous beams.
SYNOPSIS
Providing material for two courses (one advanced undergraduate, and another graduate course), this textbook describes the analysis and design of both reinforced and prestressed concrete elements. Twenty- two chapters address the strength design method, elastic concept, the control of cracking, reinforcing bars, shear and diagonal tension, one-way slabs, axially loaded columns, slender columns, footings, retaining walls, design for torsion, continuous beams and frames, two- way slabs, stairs, beams curved in plan, computer programs and flowcharts, and unified design methods. Hassoun teaches at South Dakota State University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
ACCREDITATION
M. Nadim Hassoun is a professor emeritus of Civil Engineering at South Dakota State University. His research interests include structural and limit-state behavior of reinforced concrete, prestressed, precast, and partially prestressed concrete, as well as the structural behavior of high-strength concrete. As a professional engineer, he has extensive experience in the design, construction, and management of buildings, bridges, and other types of structures. Prof. Hassoun has been a member of many engineering organizations, including ACI, PCI, NSPE, ASEE, EERI, ASCE, SDES, and ICE (London). He has written two books on concrete design and a number of papers on subjects related to concrete. Professor Hassoun was the 1986 recipient of the Northwest Burlington Award.
