Best Reinforced Concrete Design Book
(OP)
Hey all
I have just graduated and have started designing some concrete members which i am not fully familiar with attenuation tanks etc. I was just wondering could anybody recommend the best concrete design book to me to offer me some clear and suitable guidance when designing concrete members. Any information or web sites would be much appreciated.
Regards

The Reinforced Concrete Designers Handbook is very good for a non-us (metric) alternative.
RE: Best Reinforced Concrete Design Book
I also recommend Reinforced Concrete: Design and Mechanics by James MacGregor as it is outstanding also.
BTW, don't forget to have something a bit up-to-date as the code refernces are in flux.

However, if you are looking for code examples, the best book is PCA Notes on ACI 318-05. It is the most comprehensive. Go to PCA and order the latest. I have '05 and it is great.
If you are designing tanks, which I am doing right now, PCA also has two publications for designing rectangular and circular tanks.
