“Guide for the Design of Durable Parking Structures (362.1R-97 (Reapproved 2002)),” ACI Committee 362,
American Concrete Institute, Farmington Hills, MI, 1997, 33 pp.
(This summarizes practical information regarding design of
parking structures for durability. It also includes information
about design issues related to parking structure construction
and maintenance.)
“CRSI Handbook,” Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute,
Schaumburg, IL, 9th Edition, 2002, 648 pp. (This provides
tabulated designs for structural elements and slab systems.
Design examples are provided to show the basis of and use
of the load tables. Tabulated designs are given for beams;
square, round, and rectangular columns; one-way slabs; and
one-way joist construction. The design tables for two-way
slab systems include flat plates, flat slabs, and waffle slabs.
The chapters on foundations provide design tables for square
footings, pile caps, drilled piers (caissons), and cantilevered
retaining walls. Other design aids are presented for crack
control; and development of reinforcement and lap splices.)
“Reinforcement Anchorages and Splices,” Concrete
Reinforcing Steel Institute, Schaumburg, IL, 4th Edition,
1997, 100 pp. (This provides accepted practices in splicing
reinforcement. The use of lap splices, mechanical splices,
and welded splices are described. Design data are presented
for development and lap splicing of reinforcement.)
“Structural Welded Wire Reinforcement Manual of Stan- dard Practice,” Wire Reinforcement Institute, Hartford, CT,
6th Edition, Apr. 2001, 38 pp. (This describes welded wire
reinforcement material, gives nomenclature and wire size
and weight tables. Lists specifications and properties and
manufacturing limitations. Book has latest code require-
ments as code affects welded wire. Also gives development
length and splice length tables. Manual contains customary
units and soft metric units.)
