    RCM Builder

    This document verifies RCM ACI-BUILDER software by comparing its results to calculations from ACI SP17 (05) and McCormac's Design of Reinforced Concrete textbook. Two examples are analyzed for each reference: single reinforced concrete and T-beam for ACI SP17, and single and double reinforced concrete for McCormac. The required steel area is calculated and compared. Deviations between RCM and the references are small, within 3 mm or 1% for all examples, demonstrating the accuracy of RCM ACI-BUILDER.

    This document describes performing verification tests on the RCM ACI-BUILDER software by comparing its results to manual calculations from industry standards like ACI SP17 and textbooks like McCormac.

    Single and T-beam reinforced concrete examples from ACI SP17 and single and double reinforced concrete examples from McCormac are used for comparison.

    ACI SP17, McCormac's 'Design of Reinforced Concrete' textbook, and ACI 318-11 are used for comparison in the verification.

    RCM ACI-BUILDER VERIFICATION

    This verification will be comparing the result from RCM ACI-BUILDER with ACI SP17 (05).
    To do so, this verification using some examples calculation on ACI SP17 (05) to be applicated
    in RCM ACI-Builder, then analyze the disparity among them.

    1. SINGLE REINFORCED CONCRETE. (ACI SP17-05 pg. 10)

    Analysis:
    This example will be comparing between ACI SP17 and RCM Builder on side steel area that
    is required to accommodate Mu load.
    The result is, Based on ACI SP 17(05) example,
    2
    As required =
    1.22 in
    2

    =
    787.10 mm
    and RCM Builder (ACI318-11) calculate, (see at Attachment - Example 1)
    785.03

    If we comparing this two results, the accuracy between RCM Builder to manual calculation is
    2
    Deviation = (As RCM - As ACI) =
    -2.07 mm
    Accuracy = (As RCM/As ACI)% =
    99.7%

    2. T-BEAM SINGLE REINFORCED CONCRETE (ACI SP17-05 pg. 14)

    Analysis:
    This example will be comparing between ACI SP17 and RCM Builder on side steel area that
    is required to accommodate Mu load.
    The result is, Based on ACI SP 17(05) example,
    2
    As required =
    2.85 in
    2
    = 1838.71 mm
    and RCM Builder (ACI318-11) calculate, (see at Attachment - Example 2)
    1814.52

    If we comparing this two results, the accuracy between RCM Builder to manual calculation is
    2
    Deviation = (As RCM - As ACI) =
    -24.19 mm
    Accuracy = (As RCM/As ACI)% =
    98.7%

    RCM ACI-BUILDER VERIFICATION


    This verification will be comparing the result from RCM ACI-BUILDER with Jack. Mc Cormac textbook
    "Design of Reinforced Concrete 9th Edition", that has already used ACI 360-11 .
    To do so, this verification using some examples calculation on McCormac book to be applicated in
    RCM ACI-Builder then analyze the disparity among them. At the same time, excel spreadsheet
    which is attached at that book, will be also used as a tool to verify the calculation.
