| Résumé : |
I used this book for my structural design class in college. I like to study from physical books, so since my class used ACI 318-14, I had the ebook of the modern version (8th edition) and bought the outdated physical copy (7th edition) to study from. For most of my engineering courses, there isn't much of a difference between new and old editions. Surprisingly, this book does have a quite few differences.
For calculating beams supported in tension and compression, for example, the procedures are different. This edition also has its T-beam section located all the way in chapter 9 or so, when it makes much more sense in chapter 4 in the newer edition, right after the rectangular beam analysis. Strangely enough, though, this older edition is actually better in its charts and tables. This edition shows the process of finding the shear reinforcement clearly delineated by a table where the 8th edition has it somewhat unclearly in a list that makes it blend in with the rest of the text instead of making it stand out as a summarization like this edition does. Additionally, in the development length section, there are some charts in this edition which have more values (I think more f'c ranges? I don't remember) than in the newer edition. |
