The 4th edition of Reinforced Concrete Fundamentals by Phil M. Ferguson, published in 1981, is a textbook that demonstrates the behavior of reinforced concrete members and assemblages at every load stage, focusing on the "flow" and physical basis of the design process. The fourth edition was notable for its change to adopt SI units.
The primary objective of this textbook is to present the theory of reinforced concrete design as a direct application of the laws of statics and mechanics of materials, emphasizing that successful design must be both code-compliant and practical for timely and cost-effective construction with a long service life.
Dasar-dasar Beton Bertulang, Salah satu buku teks terkenal hanya Prof. Ferguson, pada awainya diterbitkan segera setelah American Concrete Institute mengambil langkah pertama untuk mengirimkan disain kekuatan akhir (ultimate strength design). Setelah mengalami revisi beberapa kali, Edisi ke-4 diterbitkan pada tahun 1979. Buku teks Ferguson ini merupakan sebuah buku acuan penelitian, sarana disa…
