The sixth edition of this comprehensive textbook provides the same philosophical approach that has gained wide acceptance since the first edition was published in 1965. The strength and behavior of concrete elements are treated with the primary objective of explaining and justifying the rules and formulas of the ACI Building Code. The treatment is incorporated into the chapters in such a way that the reader may study the concepts in a logical sequence in detail or merely accept a qualitative explanation and proceed directly to the design process using the ACI Code.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Updated to Reflect the 2005 ACI Building
Now revised to reflect the latest developments in the field, this thoroughly updated Seventh Edition of Chu-Kia Wang, Charles G. Salmon, and José A. Pincheira’s Reinforced Concrete Design incorporates the changes in design rules arising from the publication of the 2005 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Building Code and Commentary (ACI 318-05).
Written for students and practicing engineers, the book explains the basic concepts you need to understand and properly apply the ACI Code rules and formulas. Throughout, the emphasis is on the ACI approach involving strength and serviceability “limit states” and factored loads. Detailed numerical examples illustrate the general approach to design and analysis.
New Features
- Load and Strength Reduction Factors: Example problems in all chapters are completely revised using the load and strength reduction factors that now appear in the main body of the 2005 code.
- Unified Design Provisions: The treatment of the Unified Design Provisions for flexure, which are now in the body of the 2005 ACI Code, is thoroughly revised.
- Strut-and-Tie Models: Presents entirely new design provisions using strut-and-tie models, in accordance with Appendix A of the 2005 ACI Code.
About the Author
Chu-Kia Wang, is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. His fields of interest include structural engineering, structural analysis and design, and computerized matrix method of analysis.

Excellent Examples,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reinforced Concrete Design, 6th Edition (Hardcover)
This book has excellent examples for thoroughly designing reinforced concrete structural members. It references directly to the ACI code.

Straight to the Point,
By Melchor P. Sirilan (Davao, Philippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reinforced Concrete Design, 6th Edition (Hardcover)
The discussions were clear and the sample problems hit the bull's eye. I recommend this book to be included in the school library.

Awesome!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reinforced Concrete Design (Hardcover)
Salmon is by far one of the better text books on the market today. Any Student wanting to learn both the theory and practical applications to reinfroced concrete design, this is the book to get. The best part about the book is that it makes you think and work to understand the material, while providing excellent example problems.
