Summary: This is the reason that engineers are considered illiterate
Review: Books like this are the reason that engineers are considered illiterate. Almost every page has a grammatical mistake. Most of the examples have technical mistakes.It is a poor reflection on the American University system that someone who cannot even communicate at an eighth grade level is a PROFESSOR ! Similarly, it is a poor reflection on the publishing industry that books like this actually get PUBLISHED! From the reviewer comments there seems to be a strong fan club in Israel. Perhaps that is where Professor Nawy should be teaching.

Summary: A must for any civil engineer
Review: Dr. Nawy's book is very well written. The examples included in the text are easy to follow. One feature that stands out in this text is the flowcharts detailing the design procedure. I found these to be extremely helpful. This book is the best guide to reinforced concrete you can buy. I also recommend Dr. Nawy's Prestressed Concrete book as well.

Summary: Most Helpful and Informative
Review: Dr. Nawy's text book is written with clarity and focus. It is must training for all future professional engineers interested in the design of complex structures. The problems are easy follow and practical in applications. I highly recommend this book, it is written by a true scholar.
Rating: 
Summary: To complex for beginners.
Review: I would not recommend this book for beginners. The problems are to complex and the flow charts can be hard to understand. This book may be a valuble tool for one who already knows the fundamentals about concrete design, but since it was my first class I did not enjoy this book at all. I found Nawy's sample problems assumed the reader knew to much and they left out many steps.
Rating:
Summary: A perfect book for a level III or less engineer
Review: It shows me a "easy-understanding and practical" way on how to design reinforced concrete structures, especially useful when your discipline leader is absent.
Rating:
Summary: A Most Comprehensive Concrete Textbook
Review: Nawy's Reinforced Concrete Book is THE Textbook for learning concrete design and analysis. The examples and theory are stepwise organized for the beggining student and detailed enough for the practicing engineer to make reference. Nawy's book follows the ACI 318 Code closely with practical examples and detailed working drawings for better visualization of code requirements. This book is being used for both the intro R/C design as well as the Advanced Graduate R/C class. Seismic & Indeterminate sections are second to none. Highly Recommended as a learning tool or an addition to your engineering reference library.

Summary: Terrible!
Review: Not only is this book poorly written, the errors contained in this book is confusing for anyone trying to learn about reinforced concrete. The approaches for some of the basic fundamentals can and should be taken differently. I highly discourage this book for learning purposes.
