[.ca] Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design (ISBN 0131429949)

excellent examples:
As a student, this book proved to be a vital supplement to lecture topics concerning both the design and analysis of reinforced concrete. I would recommend having at least some understanding of structual mechanics and concrete material properties and behavior before buying this text though. It can be best used by upperclassmen undergrads and by professionals who need to brush up on basic concrete design skills. Covers analysis and design of beams with tension and compression steel, transverse reinforcement design, deflections, torsion, one-way and two-way slabs, continuous beams and more. It is HIGHLY recommended that you supplement this book with the current ACI building code for concrete.

An excellent book.:
A comprehensive book, explains all concepts in detail. Suitable as a textbook for beginners as well as a reference for practising engineers. I enjoyed the chapters on torsion, short columns, slender columns,and strut and tie models.
