One Way Concrete Slab - Metric (Canada)
One Way Concrete Slab - Metric (Canada)
(OP)
Hi There,
I wanted to know if anyone knows of a good Reinforced Concrete Design Book, a book that follows the Canadian Code and uses the metric system.
I recently graduated from FSU - but just moved to Canada.
I use as a reference the book I used in college "Design of Reinforced Concrete ACI 318-08 Code Edition" by "Jack C. McCormac and Russell H. Brown"... However this book uses English Units and follows ACI-08...
Or if someone has/knows of a One-Way Slab design example (PDF or URL) - Metric units, and hopefully one that follows the Canadian Code - it would be great.
Thank you.

hopefully some of that helps. If you need more than we will need to figure out a better way to transfer it all.

Thanks, this helps a lot!
Quick question,
Do you happen to have the tables that allows the user to obtain "min. ration of steel" due to "Mu/(phi * b * d^2) - for different Fy and Fc'

CELinOttawa,
The book that you are referring to, do you happen to have the ISBN or a picture so I can google it and purchase it??
Thanks!

1) MacGregor's Canadian version concrete text which is a little out of date now.
2) The text by Kirk & Pillai
I find that the Canadian texts are much weaker than those published in the US. It makes sense. The US publishes 10x more material than Canada does. The odds that the best textbooks will be Canadian are pretty low. I just accept that I'll have to translate the code stuff.
In my opinion, hands down the best textbook for "how you actually do it in the office" concrete design is this one: Link. The newest version is expensive but you can pick up older ones on ebay for $5. Since the code's all wrong anyhow, the version hardly matters.
The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.

I've heard some critiques that MacGragor was a little theory heavy and lacking on the practical side, and was looking at this one to supplement. Not to mention that MacGregor is out of date and the book binding is falling apart.

That was recommended to our class as supplementary reading however the few times I looked at it I wasn't impressed. I kicked the crap out of that course using only the design handbook and some awesome notes from a former prof.

Thank y'all for your help.
I went ahead and bought the following book...

I am going to give this one a try and see how far I can go.
Next book in the list is the "Concrete Design Handbook Third Edition"

Again, Thank you!
