Preamble:
The course provides fundamental concepts of reinforced concrete and its design. It
enables the students to design and detail reinforced concrete structural elements
such as beam, slab, column, and footing. The course also trains the students to use
the code of practice for reinforced concrete design, IS 456: 2000.
Course Outcomes: After the completion of the course the student will be able to:
CO 1 Comprehend the design philosophy of the Limit state method. [Understand]
CO 2 Recall the structural behavior of elements subjected to flexure and
compression. [Remember]
CO 3 Analyze the reinforced concrete elements such as beam, slab, column and
footing subjected to dead and live loads to determine BM, SF, AF, and
deflection. [Analyze]
CO 4 Applying the principles of limit state method to design the reinforced concrete
elements such as beam, slab, column and footing subjected to dead and live
loads following IS 456 and SP 16. [Apply]
CO 5 Preparation of structural drawings of the designed reinforced concrete
elements such as beam, slab, column and footing following SP 34. [Apply]

diameter. Assuming M25 concrete and Fe 415 steel, determine the
safe axial load carrying capacity of the column.
1. Design a one-way slab with 3.5 m clear span supported on 230 mm
thick walls on all four sides. The edges are simply supported. The live
load on the slab is 2kN/m2. Use M20 concrete and Fe 415 steel.
CO4 2. Design a short circular column of diameter 50cm and length 3m to
carry a factored load of 1200kN and a factored moment of 120kNm.
Use M20 concrete and Fe 415 grade steel. Design the lateral
