The concrete building structure can be broken down into the following elements:
1.
2.
3.
Columns - Vertical members carrying primarily axial load but generally subjected
to axial load and moment
4.
5.
Foundation - Loads from columns or walls so that the ground without excessive
settlement can support them. Alternatively the bases may be supported on piles.
In the final analysis, there are two most important purpose of which the design engineer must
ensure in the design provided:
1.
The safety of the structure under any possible worst loading conditions.
2.
There are three design concepts that have been developed and used in reinforced concrete design.
They are:
1.
2.
3.
