The Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook Volumes 1 & 2 Package is a comprehensive resource for professionals involved in the design of reinforced concrete structures. It has been revised to align with the Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-14) and features an updated layout. The Handbook offers numerous design examples for various reinforced concrete elements, including slabs, beams, columns, walls, diaphragms, footings, and retaining walls. Some examples are based on a fictional seven-story building, while others illustrate different ACI 318-14 requirements.

Each design example in the Handbook follows a consistent format, starting with a problem statement, followed by a design solution presented in a three-column layout. The columns provide a reference to the relevant code provision, a brief discussion of the solution, and the design calculations. A drawing of the reinforcing details is included, and the example concludes with further analysis or a comparison of results.

Additionally, many chapters in the Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook provide a general discussion of the corresponding ACI 318-14 chapter. This ensures that designers not only have access to practical design examples but also gain a deeper understanding of the code requirements and guidelines.
