Comprehensive sketches, working drawings, end-of-chapter problems, pictures of actual structural tests to failure, and flowcharts appear throughout the book. An appendix contains Q-BASIC computer programs with typical program documentation and solutions, and an extended appendix of monograms and tables using the new load factors, strength reduction factors, and limit strains design procedures mandated in the new ACI 318-02 code. This edition provides thorough coverage of short- and long-term material behavior, design of concrete mixtures, reliability and structural safety, serviceability behavior of beams and two-way slabs and plates, torsion and shear, design of two-way structural slab and plate systems, continuity in concrete structures, LRFD design of bridge decks, and seismic design of high-rise buildings in seismic zones. It is the only book that closely and systematically applies procedural flowcharts throughout, which simplify the understanding and application of the subject in design.
Kennedy Award and the Robert E. He has been the recipient of several major awards, including the Henry L. He is the author of Prestressed Concrete, Fourth Edition, (Prentice Hall, 2003), High Strength High Performance Concrete, Second Edition, (Wiley, 2001) and Concrete Construction Engineering Handbook (CRC Press, 1998). Nawy's work has been published in technical journals worldwide (over 160 technical papers). He has been active in the ACI and PCI since 1949 and is internationally recognized for his extensive research in the fields of reinforced and prestressed concrete, particularly in the areas of serviceability and crack control.
He is a licensed Professional Engineer in the States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, and Florida, an Evaluator for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), and has been a consultant in structural engineering throughout the United States.
