Description
For over a century, Design of Concrete Structures has been the authoritative source for the behavior of reinforced concrete structures and design approaches in accordance with the ACI 318 Building Code. The 2025 ACI Building Code contains over 100 important technical changes. These changes address development of reinforcement, higher strength reinforcement, column design, concrete breakout capacity, and shear capacity. The changes have profound and important impacts on the design of concrete structures.Design of Concrete Structures by Darwin and Dolan presents current concrete behavior theory and updated code-based design rules. The text and illustrated examples are essential for faculty members, students, and practitioners to understand current concrete design. New homework problems are included. The work serves as a current source for design and a career resource on the development of concrete design theory.
