RCC Design Unit1 ClassNote

The document provides an introduction to RCC design, outlining relevant design codes such as IS 456:2000 and IS 875, which govern the design and loads on structures. It discusses two primary methods of RCC design: the Working Stress Method (WSM) and the Limit State Method (LSM), comparing their characteristics and assumptions. Additionally, it highlights the importance of ductile detailing for earthquake resistance and presents concepts related to load types and combinations.

Class Note: RCC Design Introduction

1. Introduction to Relevant Design Codes

IS 456:2000 Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete

- Governing code for RCC design and construction in India.

IS 875 (Part I to III) Code for Design Loads

- Part I: Dead Loads

- Part II: Live Loads

- Part III: Wind Loads

SP-16 Design Aids for RCC (Limit State)

- Charts and tables for beam, column, slab design.

SP-34 Handbook for Detailing of Reinforcement

- Guidelines for reinforcement drawing.

IS 13920 Ductile Detailing for Earthquake Resistance

- Ensures seismic resistance of RCC members.

2. General Concept of Loads on Structures

Dead Load (DL): Self-weight of structural elements.

Live Load (LL): Loads from occupants, furniture, etc.

Wind Load (WL): Pressure exerted by wind.

Load Combinations: As per IS 875 Part V and IS 456.


3. Methods of RCC Design

A. Working Stress Method (WSM)

- Based on elastic theory.

- Uses global safety factor.

- Conservative and simple.

B. Limit State Method (LSM)

- Modern method based on probability.

- Uses partial safety factors.

- Economical and realistic.

4. Comparison: WSM vs LSM

WSM: Conservative, used in old designs.

LSM: Preferred modern method, more accurate and economical.

5. Assumptions in Working Stress Method

- Plane sections remain plane.

- Concrete is weak in tension.

- Linear stress-strain relationship.

- Perfect bond between steel and concrete.

6. Equivalent Bending Stress Distribution Diagram


- Triangular compression in concrete.

- Uniform tension in steel.
