Key Topics for Manual RCC Design
1. Basics of Structural Design
- Types of Structures (Load-bearing, RCC frame)
- Types of Loads (Dead, Live, Wind, Seismic) - IS 875 & IS 1893
- Load Combinations - IS 456
- Limit State vs. Working Stress Method
2. Material Properties & Stress Analysis
- Concrete & Steel Grades (M20, M25, Fe500, etc.)
- Stress-Strain Curve for Concrete & Steel
- Factor of Safety (FoS)
- Modular Ratio & Young's Modulus
3. Structural Elements Design
- Beams (Singly & Doubly Reinforced, Shear & Flexural Design)
- Slabs (One-Way & Two-Way Slabs)
- Columns (Axial, Uniaxial & Biaxial Bending)
- Footings (Isolated, Combined, Raft)
- Staircases (Waist Slab, Reinforcement)
4. Reinforcement Detailing & IS Code Provisions
- Minimum & Maximum Reinforcement Percentage
- Lap Length & Development Length
- Cover to Reinforcement
- Anchorage & Splicing of Bars
5. Serviceability Checks
- Deflection Limits (Span/Effective Depth)
- Crack Width Calculation
6. BOQ & Estimation Basics
- Concrete & Steel Quantity Calculation
