Reinforced Concrete: A Fundamental Approach - Tapa dura

For one-semester, junior/senior-level and graduate courses in Reinforced Concrete in the department of civil engineering. This cutting-edge text analyzes the design of reinforced concrete members through a unique and practical step-by-step trial and adjustment procedure. The narrative is supplemented with flow charts to guide students logically through the learning process. Ample photographs of instructional testing of concrete members decreases the need for actual laboratory testing. This illustrates the failure of various types of structural members as well as demonstrates how the designed member behaves at ultimate load.

Edward G. Nawy is a distinguished professor with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. He has been active in the ACI and PCI since 1959 and is internationally recognized for his extensive work in the fields of reinforced and prestressed concrete, particularly in the areas of crack and deflection control. Dr. Nawy has published more than 170 papers in numerous technical journals worldwide. He is also the author of several books: Prestressed Concrete-A Fundamental Approach, Fourth Edition (Prentice Hall, 2003), Fundamentals of High Performance Concrete, Second Edition (John Wiley & Sons, 2000), and Concrete Construction Engineering Handbook (CRC Press, 1998). He has been the recipient of several major awards, including the Henry L. Kennedy Award of the ACI, the ACI Concrete Research Council Award, an honorary professorship with the Nanjing Institute of Technology, and is an Evaluator for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). He is a licensed Professional Engineer in the States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, and Florida, a chartered engineer overseas, and has been a consultant in forensic engineering to agencies throughout the United States.
