Customer Reviews

Great textbook

The authors do a very good job of explaining the material in this textbook. They always reinforce all principles with many clear and detailed examples, which makes understanding the material much easier. Compared to other concrete textbooks, it seems the authors have leaned more toward explaining just how to design reinforced concrete members (as the title of the textbook suggests) but less on the MECHANICS AND THEORY of reinforced concrete. In my opinion, the most complete reinforced concrete textbook in the market is "Reinforced concrete: Mechanics and design by Wight and Macgregor."

Structural Eng., P.E.

Now, when Building Code Requerments for Structural Concrete(ACE 318-08) become more and more complicate, not clear, and too difficult for engineering practice, this book can be used by professional engineers and students too, because has a lot of samples and clear schemes.

Straight to the Point

The discussions were clear and the sample problems hit the bull's eye. I recommend this book to be included in the school library.

Excellent Examples

This book has excellent examples for thoroughly designing reinforced concrete structural members. It references directly to the ACI code.

Awesome!!!

Salmon is by far one of the better text books on the market today. Any Student wanting to learn both the theory and practical applications to reinfroced concrete design, this is the book to get. The best part about the book is that it makes you think and work to understand the material, while providing excellent example problems.
