This text is generally recognized that mere training in special design skills and codified procedures is inadequate for a successful career in professional practice. As new research becomes available and new design methods are introduced, these procedures are subject to frequent changes. To understand and keep abreast of these rapid developments and to engage safely in innovative design, the engineer needs a thorough grounding in the fundamental performance of concrete and steel as structural materials and in the behavior of reinforced concrete members and structures. At the same time, the main business of the structural engineer is to design structures safely, economically, and efficiently. Consequently, with this basic understanding as a firm foundation, familiarity with current design procedures is essential. This edition, like the preceding ones, addresses both needs.

The book presents the basic mechanics of structural concrete and methods for the design of individual members subjected to bending, shear, torsion, and axial forces. It additionally addresses in detail applications of the various types of structural members and systems, including an extensive presentation of slabs, beams, columns, walls, footings, retaining walls, and the integration of building systems.
