"This book is a handy desk reference for structural engineers of all experience levels. Experienced practitioners will find the book useful for refreshing their memories or verifying their interpretation of design practice. For the student or entry-level engineer, the book serves as a comprehensive guide to learn the' ins and outs' of concrete design."-Steven Goldstein, BCC Engineering, Miami, Florida, USA"I think the main strength is that this book is written by a practicing engineering who has many years' experience of designing RC structures. The book is written in a way that the readers will learn the most useful knowledge for practical needs."-Shih-Ho Chao, The University of Texas at Arlington, USA.
