With this bestselling book, readers will quickly gain a better understanding of the fundamentals of reinforced concrete design. The authors present a thorough introduction to the field, covering such areas as

• theories
• ACI Code requirements
• the design of reinforced concrete beams, slabs, columns, footings, retaining walls, bearing walls, prestressed concrete sections, and framework
• numerous examples are also integrated throughout the chapters to help reinforce the principles that are discussed
