CONCRETE
DESIGN
Unit 1   lesson 01 (introduction to reinforced concrete design)
COVER
the amount of concrete required to protect steel
reinforcement from fire and corrosion, measured from
the surface of the reinforcement to outer surface of the
concrete section
75 mm
for concrete cast and permanently exposed to earth such as footings
40-50 mm
for concrete members exposed to weather
40 mm
concrete cover of pipes, conduits or fittings and exposed to weather
40 mm
for beams and columns
20 mm
for concrete not exposed to weather or in contact with ground,
such as slabs, walls and joists
EFFECTIVE LENGTH
the depth of concrete section measured from the
compression face to the centroid of the tension
reinforcement
BOND STRESS
the adhesive force per unit area of contact between
reinforcing bar and the surrounding concrete
developed at any section of a flexural member.
HOOK
a bend or curve given to develop an equivalent embedment
length, used where there is insufficient room to develop in
adequate embedment length
STANDARD HOOK
a 90º, 135º, 180º bend made at the end of a reinforcing bar
according to standards
ANCHORAGE
any of various means, as embedment length or hooked
bars, for developing tension or compression in a reinforcing
bar on each side of critical section in order to prevent bond
failure or splitting
Unit 1   lesson 01 (introduction to reinforced concrete design)
OVERREINFORCED SECTION
a concrete section in which the concrete in compression reaches
its assumed ultimate strain before the tension reinforcement
reaches its specified yield strength.
This is a dangerous condition since failure of the section could
occur instantaneously without warning
UNDERREINFORCED SECTION
a concrete section in which the tension reinforcement reaches its
specified yield strength before the concrete in compression
reaches its assumed ultimate strain.
This is desirable condition since failure of the section would be
preceded by large deformations giving prior warning of impending
collapse

Unit 1   lesson 01 (introduction to reinforced concrete design)
EMBEDMENT LENGTH
length of embedded reinforcement
provided beyond a critical section
JACKING FORCE
in pre-stressed concrete,
temporary force exerted
into pre-stressing tendons
KINDS OF LOADS
 CONCENTRATED LOADS - is a force applied at a
single point on a beam or structure.
 UNIFORM LOADS - a series of uniform concentrated
loads, but for 5 or more uniformly spaced concentrated
loads.
TYPES OF SUPPORT
TYPES OF BEAMS
 SIMPLY SUPPORTED BEAM
 SIMPLY SUPPORTED W/ OVER HANG
 CANTILEVER BEAM - is a beam anchored at only one
end. The beam carries the load to the support where it is
forced against by a moment and shear stress.
 CONTINOUS BEAM - are those that rest over three or
more supports, thereby having one or more redundant
support reactions.
TYPES OF INTERNAL FORCES
 COMPRESSION - pushes towards joint.
 TENSION - pulls away from joint.
 SHEAR - arises from the force vector component
parallel to the cross section
STRESS- STRAIN DIAGRAM
- graphic representation of the relationship between unit
stress values and the corresponding unit strains for a
specific material.
 PROPORTIONAL LIMIT - maximum stress which the
material springs back to the original length when the load
is released.
 ELASTIC LIMIT - maximum stress below which the
material does not return to its original length but has
incurred a permanent deformation we call permanent
set.
 YIELD POINT - the stress wherein the deformation
increases without any increase in the load. The material
at some portion shows a decrease in its cross section.
 ULTIMATE STRENGTH - the maximum stress that can
be attained immediately before actual failure or rupture.
 RUPTURE STRENGTH - stress at which material
specimen breaks.

Coarse Aggregate
Aggregates
Fine aggregates- sand
are those that passes through a No.4 sieve
(about 6mm in size)
Coarse aggregate
- gravel or crushed stone
Mixing
Concrete Proportions
COLUMN
COLUMN - a relatively slender structural member designed
primarily to support axial, compressive loads, applied at the
member ends.
POST - a stiff vertical support especially a wooden column in timber
framing
COLUMN
BUCKLING
the sudden lateral or torsional instability of a slender structural member
induced by the action of a compressive load. Buckling can occur well
before the yield stress of the material is reached.
BUCKLING
the axial load at which a column begins to deflect laterally and becomes
unsuitable.
COLUMN
LONG COLUMN
a slender column subject to failure by buckling rather than by crushing
SHORT COLUMN
a thick column subject to failure by crushing rather than by buckling.
Failure occurs when the direct stress from an axial load exceeds the
compressive strength of the material available in the cross section. An
eccentric load, however, can produce bending and result in uneven
stress distribution in the section
INTERMEDIATE COLUMN
a column having a mode of failure between that a short column and a
long column, often party inelastic by crushing and partly elastic by
buckling
FOUNDATION DESIGN
Footings are structural members
used to support columns and walls
and to transmit and distribute their
loads to the soil in such a way that
the load bearing capacity of the soil
is not exceeded, excessive
settlement, differential settlement, or
rotation are prevented and
adequate safety against overturning
or sliding is maintained.
TYPES OF FOOTINGS
Wall footings are used to support structural walls that carry loads
for other floors or to support nonstructural walls.
TYPES OF FOOTINGS
Isolated or single footings are used to support single columns.
This is one of the most economical types of footings and is used
when columns are spaced at relatively long distances.
TYPES OF FOOTINGS
Combined footings usually support two columns, or three
columns not in a row. Combined footings are used when two
columns are so close that single footings cannot be used or when
one column is located at or near a property line.
TYPES OF FOOTINGS
Cantilever or strap footings consist of two single footings
connected with a beam or a strap and support two single columns.
This type replaces a combined footing and is more economical.
TYPES OF FOOTINGS
Continuous footings support a row of three or more columns.
They have limited width and continue under all columns.
TYPES OF FOOTINGS
Rafted or mat foundation consists of one footing usually placed
under the entire building area. They are used, when soil bearing
capacity is low, column loads are heavy single footings cannot be
used, piles are not used and differential settlement must be
reduced.
TYPES OF FOOTINGS
Pile caps are thick slabs used to tie a group of piles together to
support and transmit column loads to the piles.
Minimum Requirements for Foundations
ONE-WAY SLAB
A one-way slab is considered as wide shallow rectangular beam.
The reinforcing steel is usually spaced uniformly over its width. The
flexural reinforcement of a one-way slab extends in one direction
only.
Maximum flexural reinforcement spacing:
3 times the slab thickness or 450 mm
ONE-WAY SLAB
Minimum thickness of one-way slab:
Solid one-way slab
L/20 - simply supported
L/24 - one end continuous
L/28 - both end continuous
L/10 - cantilever
* Span length L is in millimeter
SIZE AND SPACING OF MAIN BARS & TIES
Clear distance between longitudinal bars shall be not less than
1.5 db nor 40 mm
Use 10 mm diameter ties for 32 mm bars or smaller and at least
12 mm in size for 36 mm and bundled longitudinal bars
Vertical spacing of ties shall be the smallest of the following:
16 x db (db = longitudinal bar diameter)
48 x tie diameter
least dimension of columns
MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT OF
REINFORCEMNT
not less than 12 db
not less than 1/16 clear span
not less than d
whichever is greater
