Design of Concrete Structures
14th Edition with SI Units
H. Nilson, David Darwin, and Charles W. Dolan
ISBN 9780071311397 • MHID 0071311394 • 2010 • Softcover
The fourteenth edition of the classic text, Design of Concrete Structures, is completely revised using the newly
released 2008 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Code. This new edition has the same dual objectives as the
previous editions:
To establish a firm understanding of the behavior of structural concrete
To develop proficiency in the methods used in current design practice
The book covers the behavior and design aspects of concrete structures and provides updated examples and
homework problems. New material on slender columns, seismic design, anchorage using headed deformed bars,
and reinforcing slabs for shear using headed studs has been added. The notation has been thoroughly updated to
match changes in the ACI Code.
The text also presents the basic mechanics of structural concrete and methods for the design of individual members
for bending, shear, torsion, and axial force, and provides detail on the various types of structural systems applications,
including an extensive presentation of slabs, footings, foundations, and retaining walls.
Key Features
Coverage updated to match ACI 318-08.
Expanded presentation and enhanced example problems in Chapter 3 on Flexural Analysis and Design.
New homework problem sets.
Updated modified compression theory method of shear design from the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design
Specifications and modified shear friction design procedures from the ACI Code added to Chapter 4.
Expanded coverage on bond and development of reinforcement using headed deformed bars in Chapter 5.
Slender column design requirements revised and updated in Chapter 9.
Guidance on preliminary design and guidelines for proportioning members in Chapter 12.
Updated design procedures for prestressed concrete in Chapter 19.
Expanded description of loading criteria and description of new design requirements for seismic design in
Chapter 20.
Text features applications that reflect the authors’ practical experience.
