Handbook of Concrete Engineering Book by Mark Fintel

This handbook contains up-to-date information on planning, design, analysis, and Its intention is to provide engineers, construction of engineered concrete structures. architects, contractors, and students of civil engineering and architecture with authorita- tive practical design information. The tremendous progress and changes in all the areas Of concrete engineering in the last two decades seemed to indicate a need for a new Handbook of Concrete Engineering. In addition, the many inquiries on subjects of concrete engineering received daily by the editor in the course of his professional activity, heightened his enthusiasm in accepting the proposal from Van Nostrand Reinhold to assemble this handbook. Much of the information contained in this book has evolved during the last 15 to 20 years. The subjects of a number of chapters are so recent that the material has never before been published in book form.
