Description
Design of Concrete Structures by Darwin and Dolan is a comprehensive resource for understanding the behavior, analysis, and design of reinforced concrete structures in accordance with the ACI 318 Building Code. With a long-standing history as a leading reference in concrete structural design, this edition incorporates the latest developments in concrete behavior theory and code-based design.
The 2025 ACI Building Code introduces more than 100 significant technical changes, with important implications for the design of concrete structures. Key updates address areas including reinforcement development, higher-strength reinforcement, column design, concrete breakout capacity, and shear capacity.
This edition explains the updated design requirements while connecting code provisions to the underlying principles of reinforced concrete behavior. Illustrated examples demonstrate how current design rules can be applied to practical structural engineering problems, helping students and practitioners develop a stronger understanding of both theory and design procedures.
New homework problems provide additional opportunities for students to practice concepts and develop concrete design skills. The book is suitable for engineering students, faculty members, structural engineers, and practicing professionals who need a current reference for reinforced concrete design.
By combining concrete behavior theory, ACI-based design procedures, worked examples, and updated practice problems, Design of Concrete Structures serves as both an educational textbook and a professional resource for understanding modern reinforced concrete design.
