Structural Concrete

Structural concrete design fully updated to ACI 318-25 code

Now in its Eighth Edition, Structural Concrete: Theory and Design remains a trusted reference for reinforced concrete analysis and design, fully aligned with the ACI 318-25 code. This updated edition presents design methods alongside current code requirements and restrictions, guiding readers through the analysis and design of each type of structural member with clarity and rigor.

New to this edition are updates in concrete material specifications, seismic design provisions, fiber-reinforced polymer applications, and sustainability practices. The text features updated and all-new worked examples covering creep and shrinkage models, materials properties, transverse shear reinforcement at column-beam joints, and footing design. Every chapter includes examples in both SI units and US customary units.

Readers will also find:

• Dozens of worked examples demonstrating the complete analysis and design process for each structural member type covered in the text
• Conversion factors from customary units to SI provided alongside dual-unit examples to support international engineering practice and collaboration
• Code requirements and restrictions explained in context so readers understand the rationale behind specific ACI 318-25 provisions and limitations
• Practice problems throughout the text that reinforce analytical skills and build confidence in applying code-compliant design procedures
• A companion website offering instructors access to a solutions manual fully updated and aligned with the latest ACI code

Structural Concrete serves undergraduate and graduate students in reinforced concrete design courses requiring backgrounds in statics, strength of materials, and structural analysis. Practicing structural engineers, concrete designers, and members of ASCE and ACI will find it an authoritative desk reference aligned with current code requirements.
