Product Description
Product Description
An introductory book presenting the theories, ACI Code requirements and design of reinforced concrete beams, slabs, columns, footings, retaining walls, bearing walls, prestressed concrete sections, and framework in a clear and understandable manner.
From the Back Cover
The clear and accessible choice for reinforced concrete design
When it comes to reinforced concrete design, one text stands out as the clear and accessible choice: Jack McCormac and James Nelson’s Design of Reinforced Concrete. These two highly respected authors introduce the fundamental principles of reinforced concrete design in a manner that is easy to understand, and illustrate those principles with numerous examples.
Building on a highly successful tradition, this revised and thoroughly updated Sixth Edition now features a new chapter on system design and reflects the most recent Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete from the American Concrete Institute.
Access powerful software for analysis and design!
In addition, this text is accompanied by two powerful software packages––Sable32 and a student version of SAP2000. These and any additional student and instructor resources are available for download from the book′s website at www.wiley.com/college/mccormac.
- Sable32: This software, which was developed by the authors, will help you perform structural analysis and design reinforced concrete members. The program presents you with member forces computed from analysis, and then asks you to select the appropriate design section for the member.
- SAP2000: A student version of the nationally used commercial program SAP2000 enables you to quickly enter the design data and obtain immediate answers. This program is introduced in Chapter 21, where the authors switch from the design of individual building components (as described in the first 20 chapters) to the design of entire building systems.

Lacks depth...
10 April 2007
Format:Paperback
I'm a practicing engineer in Oregon. I have studied and reviewed concrete foundations for 5-6 years, and this book is lacking in quality depth - particularly with examples. If one wants to go into a graduate-level understanding of reinforced concrete design, this book will leave you disappointed due to the lack of example problems, clear and concise descriptions, and overall quality. James MacGregor's book is far more "complete". The plus for this book is that it at least attempts to cover retaining and foundation structures, but still lacks quality example problems to illustrate what is not too obvious within the ACI code. Quantity is a 5 star, quality is a 2 star, therefore I've given this a 3 star review.

Excellent if your want to learn Design of Reinforced Concrete
9 Feb 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The prime focus of this book is on the "Design", and not on the "Mechanics". If one has to learn how to design the essential components of concrete structures, without going much deep into Mechanics, this is a fantastic book. Inclusion of spreadsheets with the text is another attractive feature of the book. These sheets help to find alternative solutions quickly. Also, the way authors have minimized the units' confusion, arises due to the use of SI and US customary units in formulas and examples, is amazing. One more plus of the book is that it also covers design of retaining walls.

Excellent Book - Design of Reinforced Concrete
5 Mar 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Design of Reinforced Concrete (Eighth Edition) by Jack C. McCormac and Russell H. Brown is an excellent book. I am a registered mechanical engineer and am trying to expand my understanding of reinforced concrete. What I really like about this book is how the authors use basic principles of mechanics of solids in the design of reinforced concrete. Rather than just trying to apply a set of derived equations tables and charts that I am not familiar with, I can use my understanding of basic mechanics of solids to figure out such things as the compressive stress and strain in the concrete, the stress and strain in the tensile steel reinforcement, the stress and strain in the compressive steel reinforcement,etc. while applying the current ACI 318-08 Code.
