5.0 out of 5 stars
The most integrated book covering the subject,
By A Customer
This review is from: Design of Concrete Structures (Hardcover)
I've been using this book for more than 12 years of practice (several editions) and I found it's the best for both students and practicing engineers. One of the good things about it is that it covers the theory as well as the code provisons for practice and makes the logical connections in the shortest wy it can be done.

Useful and comprehensive book for practitioners,
By M. A. Adnan (Lahore, Pakistan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Design of Concrete Structures (Hardcover)
This book is very good for practitioners who need to look up something they have forgotten. It can be useful for beginning students, but as far as understanding concepts is concerned, MacGregor's is the best. For a beginner, Nilson's book sometimes gets too cluttered. MacGregor's book covers almost everything in Nilson's book, but with greater emphasis on conceptual understanding.

Great Book,

This review is from: Design of Concrete Structures (Hardcover)
The notable thing about this Book by Nilson, Darwin and Dolan is that it covers not only the Design of Concrete Structures but also the the behavior of various elements, an understanding of which is absolutely necessary for the design Engineer. The background of the provisions of ACI 318 code is clearly explained. The examples and homework problems may be quite useful to the students. It also covers emerging topics such as strut-and-tie models, which are useful in situations when the usual beam theories are not valid. The text also presents Earthquake detailing and the various types of structural systems applications, which are of great help to the practising engineers. Hope they will bring out the 14th edition soon, in line with ACI 318-2005.
