Concrete Design for the Civil PE and Structural SE Exams, 2nd Edition

C. Dale Buckner PhD PE has written an exclusive e-book alias Concrete Design for the Civil PE and Structural SE Exams, Second Edition. The book briefly sheds light on concrete design methods and standards.

This book can be used side by side with PPI’s Civil Engineering Reference Manual (CERM), Structural Depth Reference Manual (CEST), or Structural Engineering Reference Manual (STRM). CERM, CEST, and STRM belong to the fundamental texts for all who are preparing themselves for the civil PE or structural engineering (SE) exams, and each book introduces the basic concepts and most common applications associated with concrete design. It is indispensable that this book should have been utilized with the American Concrete Institute’s Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318) and Commentary (ACI 318R).



Concrete Design for the Civil PE and Structural SE Exams demonstrates the concrete design and analysis methods very much required by the civil and structural engineering students.  The book’s 12 chapters offer a brief and precise review of concrete theory, code application, design principles, and structural analysis. The 51 example problems present how to employ concepts, codes, and equations, as well as more than 40 figures and tables present crucial support material. A complete nomenclature list describes the industry-standard variables and symbols which are provided in each chapter.



This book comprises of code references to make you acquainted with exam-adopted codes, like ASCE7 and ACI 318. It also contains 35 multiple-choice problems and 2 scenario-based design problems to improve your problem-solving skillfulness. Each problem’s complete solution allows you to verify your solving approach. On exam day, the comprehensive index of this book can be applied to instantly discover vital codes and concepts.

Reinforced Concrete Design: Design Theory and Examples, Third Edition – An exclusive book for civil engineering students

Prab Bhatt, Thomas J. MacGinley and Ban Seng Choo have jointly written an exclusive construction book for global construction professionals. The book is titles as Reinforced Concrete: Design Theory And Examples, 3rd Edition.

The book provides design theory for concrete components and structures as well as demonstrates the hands-on experience usages of the theory.

The third edition abides by the most updated standards of BS 8110 1997, the code for structural use of concrete; and BS 8007:1987, the code for making design of structures to maintain aqueous liquids.

Reinforced Concrete: Design Theory And Examples, 3Rd Edition

The book is specifically published for the students undergoing civil engineering degree courses to facilitate them to learn the theories of element design and the methods for creating the design of concrete buildings. The book will be also very fruitful for new graduates who just commence their career in structural design.



Various new illustrations and sections are included in this book, specifically the chapter on slabs is significantly elaborated with widespread coverage on Yield line analysis along with Hillerborg’s strip method and design for predetermined stress fields.

Besides, there are four new chapters to include the contents of university courses in design in structural concrete. The new chapters focus on the design of prestressed concrete structures, design of water tanks, a short chapter comparing the vital clauses of Eurocode 2 as well as a chapter on the basic theoretical characteristics of design of statically indeterminate structures.



The book comprises of over sixty evidently worked out design examples and more than 600 diagrams, plans and charts as well as provides brief explanation on the British Standard and Eurocode and highlights the variations among the codes. There are new chapters on prestressed concrete and water retaining structures as well as the most commonly faced design issues in structural concrete.

One can purchase the book online from Amazon by going through the following link.
