McCormac and Nelson's book on reinforced concrete design is an essential reference in my library. Its comprehensive coverage of ACI 318-05 code provisions, coupled with practical examples and clear explanations, makes it an invaluable guide for many of my design projects. I highly recommend it to anyone involved in the field of structural engineering.

Looks like a solid resource for concrete design! So many people recommend this book, I guess I should check it out and brush up on my ACI 318 knowledge.

Read and studied for university course. I have very little interest in concrete; however, this book made the information readable and interesting. The text is well written.

This book is my go-to resource for reinforced concrete design. I find myself coming back to it often, especially when I need to review fundamental concepts or technical details.
The book covers a wide range of topics, including:
Fundamental principles: The book explains the basic concepts of reinforced concrete design, such as stress, strain, and the behavior of concrete and steel.
ACI 318-05 code requirements: The book provides detailed explanations of the provisions of the ACI 318-05 code, which governs the design of reinforced concrete structures in the United States.
Design of structural elements: The book covers the design of various structural elements, such as beams, columns, slabs, and foundations, according to the ACI code.
Practical examples: The book includes numerous examples to illustrate the application of the ACI code to real-world design problems.
The book presents the material in a clear and concise manner, making it easy to understand for students and professionals alike.
McCormac and Nelson's book continues to be an indispensable reference in my library. I appreciate how they explain the provisions of the ACI 318-05 code, and I use it as a guide in many of my designs.

I really don't like the tables/graphical approach to design. That may have been great back in the 70's, but this is the 21st century now.
