ACI RENCON-96

This new edition of Edward G. Nawys highly acclaimed work reflects the very latest ACI 318-95 Building Code. This volume provides thorough coverage of short and long term materials behavior, design of concrete mixtures, reliability and structural safety, serviceability behavior of beams and two-way slabs and plates, torsion and shear, design of two-way structural slab and plate systems, continuity in concrete structures, and seismic design of high rise buildings in earthquake zones. It has an appendix on computer programs in BASIC, with typical program documentation and solutions, and an extended appendix of nomograms and tables. Comprehensive sketches and sets of working drawings, end-of-chapter problems, pictures of actual structural tests to failure, and flowcharts appear throughout the book.
