Simplified Design of
Concrete Structures - 8th Edition
The Primary
Source for Design of Concrete Structures
By James Ambrose, Patrick
Tripeny
Reliable,
Easy-To-Use Handbook for Concrete Structures, Building Types and
Concrete Construction Details
 For
over sixty years, the primary source for design of concrete
structures--now revised and updated
Simplified Design of Concrete Structures, Eighth
Edition covers all the latest, commonly used concrete systems,
practices, and research in the field, reinforced with examples of
practical designs and general building structural systems.
Updated to conform to current building codes, design
practices, and industry standards.
Simplified Design of Concrete Structures, Eighth
Edition is a reliable, easy-to-use handbook that examines a wide range
of concrete structures, building types, and construction details.
It includes a wealth of illustrations, expanded text
examples, exercise problems, and a helpful glossary.
Highlights of this outstanding tool include:
-
Its use of the current
American Concrete Institute Building Code for 2005 (ACI 318) and
the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method of
structural design
-
Fundamental and real-world
coverage of concrete structures that assumes no previous
experience
-
Valuable study aids such as
exercise problems, questions, and word lists enhance usability
"Updated to reflect current
building codes, design practices, and industry standards, this
accessible text for students of building design covers today's most
commonly used concrete structures. Concise descriptions of the
design of various structural elements are accompanied by
illustrative examples and problems to be solved by the reader." (Book
News, February 2008)
