Now updated to reflect the latest ACI 318-05 Building Code, this cutting-edge book analyzes the design of reinforced concrete members through a unique and practical step-by-step trial and adjustment procedure. Supplements narrative with flow charts to guide readers logically through the learning process. Provides ample photographs of instructional testing of concrete members to decrease the need for actual laboratory testing. Uses Strain Limits Design Method in all design examples as mandated in the new code, using the new load factors and strangth reduction factors. Updates chapter on seismic design of buildings to comply with the major changes to the ACI 318 Code and the new International Building Code provisions on seismic design. Adds chapter on the LRFD design of bridge deck structures in accordance with AASHTP 2002, including a summary of the various pertinent load and design provisions and equations.

Nice book but...
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3
Overall, the book is good based on the content and depth of material provided. I bought this book to prepare for the PE exam.

The Cons: One shortcoming that i do not like about the book is that, although it is updated to ACI 318-05, it does not give the ACI reference section number while discussing a particular item in the ACI code. Being not very conversant with ACI codes, i find this time consuming to try and locate the particular reference. It disrupts my reading and wastes alot of time while annoying at the same time. For example, while discussing beam flexure, the book states that 'the min steel required by the CODE is...' and no section # in the ACI code is given. It is up to the reader to figure out the code section.

The Pros. The book explains the basics very well and discusses the ACI code provisions.

New Book, but, looks bad
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
This book was claimed to be new. The definition of "new" in mind was probably that it never has been used. This book looked as if it was taken off the inspection line and thrown into the rejected pile of books where some genius decided to steal and sale for his or her benifit. The book had uneven, badly cut pages. The entire book itself also was bowed pretty bad. The cut of the pages was so bad in some cases that it hung over the edge. The ink also can be very easily erased in its entirety. I noticed when i accidently marked on it and then erased it, erasing the words. I need the book and I needed asap so I'm keeping it. But the book was in bad conditions.
