    The objective of reinforced concrete design for the underground floor level of the LRT building is to strengthen the concrete where needed. Steel reinforcement is placed in concrete that will experience tension, such as in slabs, to provide all the tensile strength required. It is also placed in the top of slabs to limit crack width due to loads and restraints. Reinforcement adds compressive and shear strength to slabs and beams beyond what concrete provides alone. Properly designed reinforced concrete makes the structure durable and sturdy to withstand train loads.

    ASSIGNMENT 1 ECS338

    1. Figure 1 shows the underground floor level of a LRT building. Using your own words,
    briefly explain the objective of reinforced concrete design for the underground floor
    level of the LRT building design.
    • The objective of reinforcement is to give concrete more strength where it's
    required. When concrete is in tension, such as in slabs, the steel guarantees
    all the tensile strength.
    • Steel reinforcement placed in the top or upper segment of the slab thickness
    limits the widths of random cracks that may form due to concrete deformation
    and temperature restraints, subbase settlement, and applied loads.
    • It adds to the compressive strength of concrete in slabs, as well as providing
    additional shear strength in beams over and above that of concrete.
    • Reinforced concrete structures that are properly designed are remarkably
    durable and sturdy, making them suitable to withstand the train's loads.
