Concrete, Reinforced Concrete (RC),
Prestressed Concrete (PC)
• What is concrete? Constituents?
– Stone like material, cement, coarse and fine aggregate,
water, admixture
• A bit of history
• Advantages, disadvantages
– Easy to make, relatively low-cost, formabilty, weather and
fire resistant, good comp strength
– Weak in tension
• Reinforced concrete-mild steel
• Where to place the reinforcement-examples
• Prestressed concrete

Serviceability, Strength and Structural Safety

• To serve its purpose, a structure must be safe


against collapse and serviceable in use

• Strength of the structure be adequate for all


loads

• Serviceability – deflection small, hairline


cracks, minimum vibration
Strength and safety
• If loads and moments,
shears, axial force can be
predicted accurately,
safety can be ensured by
providing a carrying
capacity just barely in
excess of the known
demand.
• Capacity= Demand
Uncertainity
• There are a number of sources of uncertainty
in Analysis, Design and Construction
• Read 7 points

• Consideration given to consequence of failure


• Nature of failure is also important
Variability of Loads,
Strength, safety
Load can be considered as
random variable
Form of distribution curve
(probability density function) can
be determined from large scale
load survey

Probability of occurrence
Area under curve is probability of
occurrence
Qd design load
Sd Design strength

M is also a random variable


Beta between 3 and 4
corresponds to a probability of
failure of 1:100,000
Partial safety factor

• Strength reduction factor X


Nominal Strength >
Load Factor X Design Load

Why partial factors are


different

Steel
Design Basis

• Material stress level • Material stress level
– Nonlinear inelastic – At allowable stresses
– Concrete fc’ – Half of fc’
– Steel reaches fy – Half of fy

Fundamental Assumption for RC Behavior

1. Equilibrium
2. Strain in steel=Strain in surrounding concrete
3. Plane cross section remain plane
4. Concrete does not resist any tension
5. The theory is based on the actual stress-
strain relationship of concrete and steel or
some simplified equivalent.

Behaviour of members subject to Axial Loads

• Fundamental behaviour illustrated

• Axial Compression
– Economical to make concrete carry most loads
– Steel reinforcement is always provided
• Bending may exist
• Cross section reduced
RC Column
Square, tied column
Tie
• Hold longitudinal bar
during construction
• Prevent bucking under load
Circular spirally reinforced
column
Spiral
• same
• confinement to concrete
fc’=4,000 psi
fy= 60,000psi

•Slow loading
•Fast loading
•0.85fc’
Elastic behaviour
• Up to fc’/2, concrete behave elastic
• Also stress and strain proportional
• Range extends to a strain of 0.0005

• Steel is elastic nearly to yield 60 ksi, strain 0.002


Hooke’s law
Valid up to 50 to 60 percent of fc’
Inelastic range

Axial Tension
• If tension is small, both steel and concrete are
elastic

• Larger load than that cracks concrete

• At steel yields
