Customer Reviews:
• Disappointment 20 March, 2005
This book lacks the details for someone who is looking to actually do the work themselves. As mentioned in one of the other reviews - this book is just a composite of magazine article. Typical of magazine articles - shallow with little substance.

• No Help 20 December, 2005
I bought this without reading the reviews, it was a mistake. I am designing an addition and need a clear guide from forms to finishing. This isn't it. As meantioned, it is a collection of articles. While informative, there are major gaps in coverage and I am no more ready to design my foundation than before. There is more useful info on foundations in the framing books I purchased.

• Great For People Who Like To Do Things Right The First Time 19 September, 2007
This is good for even advanced people as it gives little trade sercerts for stronger walls. Its a good book and a must if you are doing concrete work yourself.

• Good Book 02 November, 2008
I own this book and found it a reasonable good reference on concrete, and it contained a tremendous amount of good information. But I wasn't inspired to tackle my own DIY concrete project after reading it. It did give me respect for the trades/subcons that do this work.
I'm currently planning on hiring out the concrete foundation work to subcontractors on my home remodel, so this will be a good reference.

• Where's The Detail On Using Rebar In Concrete? 07 July, 2008
This is one of two books I purchased with the expectation of finding some detail on rebar design for monolithic slabs. Both books fall short in writing or displaying even the most basic design for rebar in a slab (see my other review on a similar book on working with concrete). This book does a little better job in showing how to make and use concrete forms.
