New Book
About the Book

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

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

Put 1200 Years of Experience to Work

This new edition contains ten new chapters on the state of the art in emerging
areas of concrete construction and design engineering by leading experts. Each
chapter examines its topic with detail and depth of discussion and culminates with
an extensive list of selected references for the user to consult beyond the scope
of the handbook. The thirty-seven contributors are national or international
leaders in research, design, and construction with a combined professional
practice of at least 1,200 years. The wealth of up-to-date knowledge they provide
allows you to design constructed concrete structures that are vastly better, more
efficient, and longer enduring.
