Emphasizing a conceptual understanding of concrete design and analysis, Structural Concrete, Third Edition builds the reader's understanding by presenting design methods in an easy-to-understand manner supported with the use of numerous examples and problems.

Updated for the latest ACI 318-05 code, this new Third Edition includes up-to-date coverage of seismic design, including IBC 2003 references, and new methods for predicting shear and creep in concrete based on the authors own research over the past ten years which will be reflected in the forthcoming ACI 209 code.
