The Wiley Advantage

Excel Spreadsheets: Use of Excel spreadsheets for examples provides the student and
instructor with tools to analyze and design reinforced concrete elements quickly as well as compare
alternative solutions.

Provides enough content to cover a two semester course at the undergraduate level.

Accessible and practical in approach.

Grounded in the basic principles of mechanics of solids, so that students build on their
understanding of basic mechanics to learn the new concepts of reinforced concrete design.

Shear Wall Design: Expanded material on shear wall design in Chapter 18 gives details and
examples on how to design shear walls for combined axial load and bending moment.

Visually distinct treatment of SI and U.S. customary units in formulas and examples
helps avoid confusion of units.
