Books For Concrete Rebar Calculations

Books For Concrete Rebar Calculations

Books For Concrete Rebar Calculations

(OP)
Need help in finding a great instructional book or a good book that explains and has great examples for where to add re bar too concrete and how the calculations work. If you have the title and author that would be great.

RE: Books For Concrete Rebar Calculations

Are you talking about regular concrete design?  MacGregor/Wight - "Reinforced Concrete Mechanics and Design" is a very good book.

RE: Books For Concrete Rebar Calculations

(OP)
Yeah this is what I am looking for. Does it have good examples of calculations?

RE: Books For Concrete Rebar Calculations

I always hated the textbooks that left out crucial steps in the design calculations that were critical to the correct solution.  I wasted more hours trying to figure out what they were thinking than it was worth.  

I assume you do not want one of those books, so I will not list any of mine.

Yes, MacGregor is an excellent text for RC design.  It has plenty of examples.  If you want a lot of examples and you have an understanding of RC behavior, I would suggest getting PCA Notes on ACI 318.  It's a book of nothing but examples.

RE: Books For Concrete Rebar Calculations

Everyone I know has Wang and Salmon.  A classic book that should teach you two semesters worth of R/C design.

RE: Books For Concrete Rebar Calculations

For behaviour, theory and the practical practice of detailing, I use Reinforced Concrete Design by Park & Paulay.  An oldie, but a goodie.

Cheers,

RE: Books For Concrete Rebar Calculations

My favorite is the PCA's "Notes on ACI 318-02 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete."  It has a lot of examples directly out of the code.  I'm sure there's a newer version out.  They give them out at the ACI 318 seminars put on by ACI.

RE: Books For Concrete Rebar Calculations

i got both the macgregor and the wang/salmon book.  both are pretty good.  i just like the wang/salmon book because it's not so cumbersome.  

LOL.
