This note describes
the following topics: Properties of concrete and reinforcing steel, philosophy, concept and methods of
reinforced concrete design, introduction to limit state method, limit state of
collapse and limit state of serviceability, application of limit state method to
rectangular beams for flexure, shear, bond and torsion, Design of doubly
reinforced beams, design of T and L beams, design of one way and two way slabs,
design of staircases, Design of short and long columns with axial and eccentric
loadings, Design of isolated and combined column footings, Retaining walls,
various forces acting on retaining wall, stability requirement, design of
cantilever and counterfort retaining walls, Design of water tanks, design
requirements, design of tanks on ground, underground and elevated water tanks.
This note introduces students to various concepts of Limit state
design. It tries to impart knowledge regarding the design of structures of
buildings like slabs , beams and columns.
The main
objective of this note is to provide students with a rational basis of the
design of reinforced concrete members and structures through advanced
understanding of material and structural behavior. Topics covered includes:
Strength and Deformation of Concrete under Various States of Stress, Failure
Criteria, Concrete Plasticity, Fracture Mechanics Concepts, Fundamental Behavior
of Reinforced Concrete Structural Systems and their Members, Basis for Design
and Code Constraints, High-performance Concrete Materials and their use in
Innovative Design Solutions, Slabs: Yield Line Theory, Behavior Models and
Nonlinear Analysis, and Complex Systems: Bridge Structures, Concrete Shells, and
Containments.
