"The primary objective of Reinforced Concrete Design, nineth edition, remains the same as that of the previous editions that were co-authored with George F. Limbrunner who is now retired: to provide a basic and thorough un-derstanding of the strength and behavior of reinforced concrete members and simple reinforced concrete structural systems. With relevant reinforced concrete research and literature continuing to become available at a rapid rate, it is the intent of this book to translate this vast amount of information and data into an integrated source that reflects the latest information available. It is not intended to be a comprehensive theoretical treatise of the subject, because it is believed that such a document could easily obscure the fundamentals emphasized in engineering technology and applied engineering programs. In addition, it is believed that adequate comprehensive books on reinforced concrete design do exist for those who seek the theoretical background, the research studies, and more rigorous applications. This tenth edition has been prepared with the primary objective of updating its contents to conform to the lat-est Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-19) of the American Concrete Institute. Be-cause the ACI Code serves as the design standard in the United States, it is strongly recommended that the code be used as a companion publication to this book"--
