Design of Concrete Structures 14th Edition by Arthur Nilson, David Darwin and Charles Dolan covers the behavior and design features of concrete and supplies updated examples and homework problems. New material on slender columns, seismic design, anchorage utilizing headed deformed bars, and reinforcing slabs for shear using headed studs has been added. The notation has been thouroughly updated to match changes within the ACI Code.
It is fully revised utilizing the newly launched 2008 ACI (American Concrete Institute) Code. This new edition has the same twin goals because the earlier editions; first to establish a firm understanding of the habits of structural concrete, then to develop proficiency in the methods utilized in present design practice.
The text additionally presents the basic mechanics of structural concrete and methods for the design of particular person members for bending, shear, torsion, and axial power, and offers element within the numerous types of structural techniques functions, together with an extensive presentation of slabs, footings, foundations, and retaining walls.
The text can be found suitable for either a one or two-semester course within the design of concrete structures. If the curriculum permits only a single course (in all probability taught in the fourth undergraduate 12 months), the following will provide a great foundation: the introduction and treatment of materials present in Chapters 1 and a pair of, respectively; the material on flexure, shear, and anchorage in Chapters 3, four, and 5; Chapter 6 on serviceability; Chapter eight on quick columns; and the introduction to 1 and two-way slabs discovered in the first 4 sections of Chapter 13. Time could or may not allow classroom coverage of body analysis or building programs, Chapters 12 and 18, but these may properly be assigned as independent studying, concurrent with the sooner work of the course.
Within the authors’ experience, such complementary outside reading tends to enhance scholar motivation. The text is more than sufficient for a second course, almost certainly taught within the first 12 months of graduate study. The authors have discovered that that is an excellent opportunity to supply college students with extra common understanding of bolstered concrete structural design, usually beginning with Chapters 12 and 18 and adopted by the increasingly vital topics of torsion, Chapter 7; slender columns, Chapter 9; the strut-and-tie method, Chapter 10; and the design and detailing of joints, Chapter 11.
It must also provide a possibility for a much expanded research of slabs, together with the remaining sections of Chapter 13, plus the methods for slab analysis and design primarily based on plasticity theory found in Chapters 14 and 15, yield line analysis and the strip method of design. Different subjects acceptable to a second course embrace foundations and retaining walls, Chapters 16 and 17, and the introduction to seismic design in Chapter 20.
Prestressed concrete is sufficiently vital to justify a separate course. If time constraints do not allow this, Chapter 19 provides an introduction and can be utilized as the text for a one-credit-hour course. At the finish of each chapter, the person will discover extensive reference lists, which offer an entry into the literature for those wishing to increase their knowledge through independent study.
