REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN
CE 512
REINFORCED CONCRETE
* Is a combination of concrete and steel wherein the steel
reinforcement provides the tensile strength lacking in the concrete.
Great resistance to the actions of fire and water and in fact, is the
best structural material available for situations where water is present.
Rigid.
Relatively low strength per unit of weight or volume. The compressive strength
of concrete is about 5-10% that of steel, while its unit density is about 30%
that of steel.
• Reinforcing bars have tensile strengths equal to approximately 100 times that of the
usual concrete used.
• The two materials bond together (due to chemical adhesion, the natural roughness
of the bars and the closely spaced rib – shaped deformations rolled on the bar surfaces)
and will act as a unit in resisting forces.
• Coefficients of thermal expansion are quite close; 0.0000065 and 0.0000055 per unit
length per degree Fahrenheit for steel and concrete respectively.
Creep
“plastic flow”
additional deformation after the initial deformation.
Tensile Strength
varies from about 8 to 15% of its compressive strength
Shear Strength
have yielded values from 1/3 to 4/5 of the ultimate compressive
strength

OBJECTIVES OF DESIGN
Appropriateness
arrangement of spaces, spans ceiling heights, access and traffic flow
must complement the intended use. The structure should fit its
environment and be aesthetically pleasing.
Economy
overall cost should not exceed the client’s budget
Structural Adequacy
strong enough to support all anticipated loadings
must not deflect, tilt, vibrate or crack in a manner that impairs its
usefulness
Maintainability
- low maintenance in a simple fashion

DESIGN PROCESS
LIMIT STATES
Ultimate Limit States
structural collapse of part or all of the structure
LIMIT STATES
* excessive deflections
* excessive crack width – leads to leakage , corrosion of the
reinforcement and gradual deterioration of the concrete
* undesirable vibrations
LIMIT STATES
* extreme earthquake
* corrosion or deterioration
* physical or chemical instability
DESIGN METHOD
DESIGN METHOD
WORKING STRESS DESIGN, WSD
- sometimes called allowable stress design or straight – line design
1. AASHTO permits WSD or USD for the design of reinforced concrete for
highway bridges
2. For proportioning fluid – containing structures with the result that there is
appreciable less cracking and consequent leakage.
3. For calculating the moment of inertia to be used for deflection
calculations
4. Design of prestressed concrete members is based not only on strength
design but also on elastic stress calculations at service load conditions.
1. Takes into account the nonlinear shape of the stress – strain diagram.
The strain in the reinforcement is equal to the strain in the concrete at the
same level.
concrete stage where the entire cross section of the beam resists
bending with compression on one side and tension on the other
side.
Transformed Area
the area of the steel is
replaced with an
equivalent area of fictitious
concrete area
