For courses in architecture and civil engineering. Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design uses the theory of reinforced concrete design to teach students the basic scientific and artistic principles of civil engineering. The text takes a topic often introduced at the advanced level and makes it accessible to all audiences by building a foundation with core engineering concepts. The Seventh Edition is up-to-date with the latest Building Code for Structural Concrete, giving students access to accurate information that can be applied outside of the classroom. Students are able to apply complicated engineering concepts to real world scenarios with in-text examples and practice problems in each chapter. With explanatory features throughout, the Seventh Edition makes the reinforced concrete design a theory all engineers can learn from. Review: Nice and affordable international version - The international version is much more affordable than the hardcover version. It came sealed in plastic with a minor dent. The paper quality is much better than regular paperback books since it is similar to premium plastic paper found in some hardcover books. The overall quality is very good for a book. Review: Very Well Written - Most of my design work is in steel, but occasionally I have a concrete beam, wall, or slab to design. I am also studying for the SE exam, so I need to brush up on concrete. My original reference was outdated, and the writing was very turgid, making the reference pretty much useless This one is VERY well written, and has easy to follow examples. It also provides cross references to ACI 318 for the methodology and equations. The illustrations are also very good and easy to understand.

Great Book and Reference Material
If you wanna know how concrete works, this is the book for you. I use it for work to determine loads for crane and building structures. Makes the work really easy and there are so many example problems to help guide you down the right path. Absolutely wonderful reference material.

Focused on how reinforced concrete works.
A deep analysis of reinforced concrete mechanical behavior, and a great integration to the ACI 318 code. Statics, mechanics of materials and structural analysis knowledge are required to foloow the content. A great book to understand how reinforced concrete works, not necessarily focused on structural design.

Definitely a Go-to
After taking Concrete Engineering courses and finishing my degree, I have to say this book still carries relevant theory. I kept my copy for reference and it in fact still comes in handy.

I do not recommend
If it was possible to rate this textbook 0 starts I would. It is the most circuitous textbooks I have ever had the displeasure of reading. I do not recommend this textbook to those who are new to reinforced concrete design.

Muy bien libro!!
Muy buen libro para diseño de estructuras en concreto, viene muy bien explicado y con ejemplos muy detallados lástima que solo este en inglés pero fuera de eso me ha servido mucho para mi clase de diseño de elementos de concreto y es muy recomendable sí estas estudiando ing civil

Excellent reference for USA concrete design
The hardcover version of the 7th edition is updated for ACI 318 2014. In my opinion, this is the best reference for understanding the mechanics of structural reinforced concrete. The softcover global edition will have much the same information, but the specific formulas and references conforming to the USA code will not be included (I would imagine). Be sure you get the hardcover version for USA design. As an aside, I use the First Canadian Edition as well to help with my design work in Canada. Same info, but formulas and references to the Canadian Concrete code.
