Reinforced Concrete: A Fundamental Approach

There are seven of us (structural engineer / bridge designer) have been using this book successfully for our daily bridge design.Our experience ranges from 20 + years to 3 + years. The clear detailed definition of each subject (theory), the recommended specifications from different organizations such as PCI, ACI, AASHTO, the step by step procedures, great example solutions and the flow charts gave us the opportunity not only to understand it well but also to be able to write it in several simple computer programs. We have been enjoying using Dr. Nawy's book for years.

Sure there may be some typographical errors, but the subject of prestressed concrete design is itself complex and detailed. To address the complexity, the author lays down systematic methods that, in the end, is only limited to the abilities of professionals and students who use them. Furthermore, the structure of the subject matter and example problems offers practicing engineers a valuable reference for prestressed design.

I can't believe it! This book covers almost all there is about basic prestressed concrete theory, but also explains some specific and advanced topics. The state-of-the-art chapter about seismic design is a must-read for designers in high risk seismic zones. Full coverage of hybrid conections (PRESSS) with examples.

This book is must book for civil engineer. it include everything, i think Prof Nawy to a great job with this book for civil engineering he help to understood thing that was not clear to me, i recommend to buy it.

i would like to express my deep appreciation to dr. nawy for ythis work.it is really a very comprehensive,valuable book i have read on prestressed concrete. i say to dr nawy that he is a very geneous professor.thank you very much.
