Reinforced Concrete Design
Reinforced Concrete Design
Reinforced Concrete Design
It is a COMPOSITE MATERIAL...
It requires APPLICATION of more involved Principles of Mechanics...
Structural Design is iterative requiring both ANALYSIS and DESIGN DECISIONS
aided by judgment and EXPERIENCE.
ACI 318 -the model code in the United States of America for guiding the design
of RC members, look at Chapter 8.
NSCP Code -the code in the Philippines..conforms to the provisions of ACI 318
Code!!!
Important Material Properties...
Rebars Determination..
The ACI Code 10.3.3 to 10.3.5 limits on the Steel Ratio (rho):
rho maximum
rho balance
1.1 Minimum Beam Size for which Deflections are NOT LIKELY to be a Problem.
1.1.1 Set Neutral Axis distance, c =< 0.375cb....
1.2 Arrangement of Rebars, Splicing points and splice length, development length,
hooks requirement, and required Stirrups.
Data:
