RECOMENDATION FOR CONCRETE TEXT
RECOMENDATION FOR CONCRETE TEXT
(OP)
Does anyone have a good recommendation for reinforced concrete text book or reference book that regards the IBC 2006 and/or CBC 2007? I don't do much concrete design, and when it comes around, would love a great reference.
Thanks.
Thanks.

While the text references (I think ACI 318-02), it is excellent for behavior. If you understand the behavior, then changing a few things such as phi factors is almost irrelevant.

If you want to save a few $$$'s you might want to check online places for used 4th editions. Based on replies to a similiar thread a month or so ago, I bought a slightly used 4th edition of this text for $38 (with shipping). New copies of the 5th edition are listed at $140 on Amazon.
It does seem to be a pretty good text.
JMHO

"One of the most significant changes was the updating of all chapters to be in compliance with the 2008 edition of the ACI Building Code." [Page xii]
I thought I bought MacGregor/Wright at the recommendation of someone here. I have been looking through it a bit but have yet to pour myself into it so I can't comment on it's layout or quality. I had Wang/Salmon in college I always liked that book as well...
