Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Extensively revised to reflect the new ACI 318 Building Code, this cutting-edge text analyzes the design of reinforced concrete members through a unique and practical step-by-step trial and adjustment procedure. Supplementing text material with flow charts to logically guide students through the learning process, the book decreases the necessity of actual laboratory testing by offering ample photographs of instructional testing of concrete members. This illustrates the failure of various types of structural members as well as demonstrates how the designed member behaves at ultimate load. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Back Cover

Reinforced Concrete: A Fundamental Approach

Edition: Sixth

Author(s): Edward G. Nawy

ISBN-13 : 978-0-13-241703-7

ISBN-10: 0-13-241703-0

 

This new edition of Edward G. Nawy’s highly acclaimed work reflects the very latest ACI-318-08 Building Code and includes these major changes and additions:

 

×        All design examples conform to the Strain Limits Design Method, using the applicable load factors and strength reduction factors.

×        An updated chapter on seismic design of buildings to comply with the major changes in the ACI 318 Code, and the new International Building Code provisions (IBC 2006) on seismic design. The chapter includes several design examples on confinement, frames, and shear walls.

×        A chapter on LRFD design of bridge deck structures in accordance with AASHTO 2004, revamped to reflect the changes in torsional and shear strain equations.

×        A new comprehensive chapter on Strength Design of Masonry Structures, conforming to the latest 2007 Masonry Code.

×        An expanded section with examples on the strut-and-tie modeling for the design of deep concrete beams and corbels, with extensive design examples using the ACI 318-08 appendix provisions for this method.

×        Chapter 9 on compression members was totally revamped to reflect the ACI 318-08 approach.

×        A comprehensive chapter on concrete materials and design of concrete mixtures for normal-strength and high-strength concretes, as well as provisions for environmental structures and a new section with extensive tables on concrete durability.

 

A self-contained textbook, Reinforced Concrete, Sixth Edition can be used for a one-semester undergraduate level course and a one-semester graduate level course in reinforced concrete in standard civil engineering programs. It is equally useful for the practicing engineer. It is the only book that closely and systematically uses and follows procedures in numerous flowcharts within each chapter that simplify the understanding and application of the subject in design.

 

This edition provides thorough coverage of short- and long-term material behavior, design of concrete mixtures, reliability and structural safety, serviceability behavior of beams and two-way slabs and plates, torsion and shear, design of two-way structural slab and plate systems, continuity in concrete structures, seismic design of high-rise buildings in high-intensity earthquake zones, LRFD design of bridge structures, and the design of masonry structures.

 

Comprehensive sketches and sets of working drawings, end-of-chapter problems, pictures of actual structural tests to failure, and flowcharts appear throughout the book. The book also includes an extended appendix of nomograms and tables.

Format: Hardcover
This book exemplifies the the way a book should not be written. The examples, writing techniques and homework problems in this book are extremely difficient. Numerical mistakes seem to be everywhere in this book. The examples are far from real world application. Very little theory about reinforced concrete is in this book. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

This book has some useful information. However, like all of Dr. Nawy's books, it is very poorly written and contains far too many errors to be considered a useful text. For reinforced concrete, MacGregor (4th edition) is a much better investment. For prestressed concrete, try Collins & Mitchell.

This book portrays concrete design in a cookbook fashion with little emphisis on actually understanding the material. The explinations that are given are wordy and not clear. While this book might be considered a good refrence book, I would not recomend it for students.

Format: Hardcover
Reinforced concrete is the corner stone of our civil engineering profession, making it interesting is where the hardship lies. Dr. Nawy, along with his book made it seem like a breeze. He made the course both enjoyable and interesting and enhanced my confidence in going out to the real world to face my job. I learnt alot about my profession from him and even mentioning his name as one of my professors has given me a whole lot! I am grateful i was one of his students. Thank you Dr. Nawy and Good Luck to you! P.S. The quality of a book should not be rated according to typing errors, it is a weak and cheap attempt of bad publicity. I am sure Dr. Nawy does not have control over what the editor decides should be printed or not. But its natural, if they aren't up there, then they try to bring down everyone else who is, grudges and jealousy make people go a long terrible way.

Format: Hardcover
I would not recommend this book for beginners. The problems are to complex and the flow charts can be hard to understand. This book may be a valuble tool for one who already knows the fundamentals about concrete design, but since it was my first class I did not enjoy this book at all. I found Nawy's sample problems assumed the reader knew to much and they left out many steps.

Format: Hardcover
Nawy's Reinforced Concrete Book is THE Textbook for learning concrete design and analysis. The examples and theory are stepwise organized for the beggining student and detailed enough for the practicing engineer to make reference. Nawy's book follows the ACI 318 Code closely with practical examples and detailed working drawings for better visualization of code requirements. This book is being used for both the intro R/C design as well as the Advanced Graduate R/C class. Seismic & Indeterminate sections are second to none. Highly Recommended as a learning tool or an addition to your engineering reference library.

Nice textbook. Not thick or heavy but still has a nice cover to make it feel sturdy.

The content of the book is very well put together. It is not hard to conceptualize what the authors are getting at. The illustrations are also very clear and colorful. The text size is also a comfortable size to read. Problems ranged in difficulty and were creative.

Overall good textbook by a great author!

Not only is this book poorly written, the errors contained in this book is confusing for anyone trying to learn about reinforced concrete. The approaches for some of the basic fundamentals can and should be taken differently. I highly discourage this book for learning purposes.
