Abstract:
AUDIENCE
This textbook presents an introduction to reinforced concrete design. We authors hope the
material is written in such a manner as to interest students in the subject and to encourage
them to continue its study in the years to come. The text was prepared with an introductory three-credit course in mind, but sufficient material is included for an additional threecredit course.

With this the seventh edition of this text the contents have been updated to conform to the

change in the expressions for strength reduction or ef> factors for flexural members whose
tensile steel strains fall in the transition range between tension-controlled and compression-controlled sections was made.
