Preface

Reinforced concrete design encompases both the art and science of engineering. This book

presents the theory of reinforced concrete design as a direct application of the laws of statics

and mechanics of materials. It emphasizes that a successful design not only satisfies

design

rules,

but is capable of being built in a timely fashion for a reasonable cost and should

provide a long service life.
