The strength and behavior of concrete elements are treated with the primary objective of explaining and justifying the rules and formulas of the ACI Building Code. This edition has a new co-author who teaches at one of the top schools for concrete design…. More >>

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

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.

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.”

Its a very good book. It is self explanatory. It covers ACI-318-05 in detail. I highly recommend this book for a masters student.
