Features
Contains more than 1,100 tables, charts, graphs, and illustrations that provide answers to problems faced in the design office and on site
Discusses material behavior, long-term behavior, and high performance qualities of constructed systems
Covers the latest requirements for structural concrete in accordance with the ACI 318-08 Building Code as well as the latest IBC 1997 provisions and examples on earthquake design and construction
Uses both PI (in-lb) and SI formats, allowing at-a-glance access to the latest requirements for structural concrete
Summary
The first edition of this comprehensive work quickly filled the need for an in-depth handbook on concrete construction engineering and technology. Living up to the standard set by its bestselling predecessor, this second edition of the Concrete Construction Engineering Handbook covers the entire range of issues pertaining to the construction and design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.
New and Updated Topics Include —

· The latest advances in engineered concrete materials and special concrete applications including architectural concrete

· Reinforced concrete construction and recommendations on the vast array of types of constructed facilities

· Specialized construction techniques, including the latest provisions of the 2006 International Building Code (IBC) on the design of structures in high seismicity zones

· Design recommendations for high performance and proportioning of concrete structural elements by the latest ACI 318-08 Building Code

· New materials, design of precast seismic bracing systems, and aesthetics of long-span bridge construction
