This is one of the most well structured, practical, and helpful textbooks I have ever worked with.

This is an extremely valuable book for teaching and learning, as well as continued reference.

Reinforced concrete was a mixture, a composition, an ingredient, just like Yin and Yang. Strong and soft.

Well, in this case, it's strong and stronger.

The author explains the design theory of reinforced concrete in easy-to-understood manner so that the readers can appreciate the use of reinforced concrete better.

Advised to read this book before reading Prestressed Concrete by Edward G Nawy to get the hang of recent construction designs.
