Reinforced Concrete Structures Analysis and Design

David A Fanella

Preference :

The second edition of this publication is based on the provisions of the 2015 edition of the International Building Code. That document references ACI 318-14, Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary, for the design of reinforced concrete structures. A major structural reorganization occurred in going from the 2011 edition to the 2014 edition of ACI 318, the first such reorganization since 1971. In short, requirements in ACI 318-14 are organized mainly by member type (one-way slabs, beams, two-way slabs, columns, etc.), which is a major change of how the document was organized in earlier editions. It was initially anticipated that the number of technical changes to ACI 318-14 would be kept to a minimum because of the effort that would be needed in the reorganization of the document. However, it did not end up that way, and some major revisions were made to the provisions themselves.
