Reinforced ConcretePreface
‘The widespread use of reinforced concrete in a variety of structural mem-
bers in the construction industry has necessitated a proper understanding of
the design and detailing procédures adopted” by civil and structural
engineers. The first Indian standard code of practice for plain and rein-
forced concrete was published in 1953 and revised in 1964 with major
emphasis on working stress design. The third revision published in 1978
incorporated the limit’state design in conjunction with the working stress
design.
In recent years valuable information regarding the various aspects of rein-
forced concrete such as durability, fire resistance, type of concrete, quality
assurance and limit state criteria, has been gathered and hence the recently
revised fourth edition of the Indian standard code IS: 2000 incorporates the
latest developments and design practices accumulated during the last three
dccades and also based on the various national codes such as the British
code BS: 8110, the American code ACI: 319, the German code DIN: 1045,
the Buropean concrete committee (CEB-FIP) model code of 1990, the
Canadian code CAN-A23.3 and the Australian code AS: 3800.
This text book entitled "REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN (IS:
456-2000) is a modern comprehensive text meetirig the requirements of
lergraduate students of civil engineering and as a reference book for
civil engineering teachers and practicing structural engineers. The material
covered in the book comprises the first course forming the foundation for
the theory and design of reinforced concrete structures and is class tested
over several years of teaching by the authors.
‘The book is spread over seventeen chapters covering the fundamental top-
ics in reinforced concrete design generally taught in the first course of BE
and B-Tech (Civil enginecring) curriculum in Indian universities to be
covered in a time frame of 50 hours. .
In the first Introductory chapter, the evolution of reinforced concrete as a
structural material for domestic industrial, highway, marine, environmen-
tal and storage structures is highlighted and prominent landmarks in the
development of the material during the 20th century is examined in the
light of continuous research by various investigators about the different
properties of structural material.
The second and third chapters present a comprehensive description of the
various properties of concrete and types of reinforcement used in structural
concrete along with the relevant Indian Standard code specifications.* Preface
- Blastic Theory of Reinforced concrete sections in flexure is presented in
Chapter-4 along with some numerical examples of analysis of structural
elements.
‘The concepts of Limit State Method of design which includes the various
limit states of collapse and serviceability such as deflections and cracking
is presented in Chapter-5.
In chapter-6, the ultimate strength of structural concrete members in flex-
ure, shear, compression and torsion and their combinations followed by
their serviceability requirements at working loads is presented in Chapter-7
The limit state method of designing, slabs, columns, footings, and retain-
ing walls is presented in a logical sequence in Chapters 8 to 1. Typical
Design examples are worked out using the Indian Standard Code:
456-2000 equations and also checked by the use of design aids such as SP:
16, generally used in design office to save time.
‘The limit state design of different types of staircases such as doglegged,
open well, and tread-riser configurations are presented in Chapter-12 fol-
lowed by the design of corbels and nibs in Chapter-13, The theory and
design of pile and raft foundations are detailed in Chapter-14.
The traditional working stress method of design extensively used in the
first half of the 20th century is presented in Chapter-15 with some numer-
ical design examples.
Chapter-16 deals with detailing aspects of reinforcements in structural
concrete members to be followed to achieve adequate strength and ser-
viceability. A large number of figures are presented to illustrate the wrong
and right methods of detailing of reinforcements in various structural
concrete members.
Chapter-17 deals with the Principles of earthquake resistant design. The
Indian standard codal recommendations regarding the detailing of mem-
bers in seismic zone is presented.
Each chapter is fortified with a variety of worked numerical examples and
a large number of practice examples are included at the end of each chapter
(o help the students preparing for university and competitive examinations.
In keeping with the spirit of ‘drawing is the language of the engineer’,
numerous figures have been included which it is hoped will heip in a
clearer understanding of the subject matter. S.I units have been adopted
throughout the text for all design examples,
Finally, the authors welcome constructive criticisms and useful sug-
gestions, which will immensely help in updating and improving the con-
tents of the book.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 BASIC CONCEPTS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE
Reinforced-concrete is basically concrete in which steel bars of desirable
magnitude, are introduced in the casting stage so that the resulting com-
posite material resist the stresses developed due to the external loads. In
flexural members ‘the steel reinforcement is generally provided near the
tension face to resist the tensile stresses since the tensile Strength of con-
crete is hardly one tenth Of its compressive strength, In the case of com-
pression members, the.steel reinforcement is distributed uniformly in the
cross section to resist the compressive stresses developed due to the
external loads. 5 . :
‘The revolutionary engineering concept of reinforcing the weak tensile
zone of conerete by steel reinforcement was developed in mid-nineteerith
Century, The early 20th century witnessed significant improvements in the
development and use of reinforced concrete mainly due to the production .
of good quality concrete. with improved strength and improved quality of
Steel with surface characteristics suitable to develop good bond ‘between
concrete and steel. . : oe
‘The success of reinforced concrete as a revolutionary material for use
in various types of structures is mainly due to the improved quality of
Conerete and stcel over the years and also the improved bond characteris-
tics between the two in, gredients, .
1.2 HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT
The present state of development in the field of reinforced concrete is due
{0 the continuous research done by scientists and engineers in this field
during the last 150 years. 1

burning a mixture of clay and chalk until clinkering, so that reactions nec-
- @ssary for the formation of strong cementatious compounds are complete.
Early 20" century witnessed the development of mass production of good
quality cement. At present Ordinary Portland cement of various strengths
designated as C-33, C-43, and C-53 are available for use in different types

Barly Investigntors worked on the theoretical basis to explain the
structural behavior of reinforced concrete as early as the end of the nine-
teenth century. .
° In 1877, ‘Phaddeus Hyatt, a0 American lawyer established tHe basis of
analysis of stress in reinforced anerete by explaining the concept of bond
$s LOnereles
between steel ‘ads and GOncTe ;
Later Koenen of Germany developed the design rules of analysis of
reinforced concrele seetions in 1880. Coignet of France also published the
principles ofelastic design ‘of reingewed concrete during the same period,
rly 20" centucy wvimessed the end of patents in this field when the
Prussian regulations ‘comprising 1 complete set of design rules of rein-
forced eonerele appeared in 1907, While the French commission on rein-
foreedd concrete Tact formulated the design rules in 1906, professional
like the Ame! jenn, Conerete Institute (ACI) and the American
Soviety of Civil Engineers casceY introduced the first joint code on rein-
foreed concrete it 1909.

Howoves, the inadequacy of the elastic or working load design in pre-
Jonds af a SiAeue paved the way for the ultimate load
dicting the ultimate
eores and design daged On NIRTALE Toads computed by applying load
factors to the working loads.
Several Investigators’ like Emporger (1936) Whitney (1937) Jenson
(1943), Chambaud (1949) and Hognestad (1951) developed the ultimate
load theory based on different types of stress blocks. Reinforced concrete
structures designed solely on the basis of ultimate load theory resulted fin.
slender structural elements and their serviceability characteristics (deflec-
tions and cracks) under working loads were not within the codified accept-
able limits.
The ultimate load method of design ensures the safety of the structures
against the collapse limit state only and as-such does not give any infor-
mation about the behaviour of the structure at service loads and the range
between service and collapse loads, The inadequacy of the ultimate load
method in not ensuring the serviceability of the structure resulted in the
development of fimit State design. °
The philosophy of limit state dosign*** was first incorporated in the
Russian code in’ 1955. Basically, limit state design is a method of design- ~
ing structures based on @ statistical concept of safety and the associated
. statistical probability of failure. Limit state design is based on the concept
of probability and comprises the application of the method of statistics to
the variations that occur in practice in the loads acting on the structure and
“the strength of the materials.
The Limit state design overcomes the inadequacies of the working
stress and ultimate load methods and ensures the safety of the structure
against excessive deflections and cracking under service loads and also
provides for the desirable load factor against failure. Hence, the British
Code’, American Code®, Australian Code? and German Code" and the
recently revised Indian Code!’ have adopted the limit State design con-
cepts.
4.3 PHILOSOPHY OF STRUCTURAL DESIGN
‘The main objective of reinforced conerete structural design is to comply
+ with the following essential requirements.
1) Structures designed should satisfy the criterion,of desirable ultimate
strength, in flexure, shear, compression, tension dnd torsion developed
under a given system of loads and their combinations. In addition, the
stresses developed in the structure under the given system of loads
should be within the safe permissible limits under service loads.
2) The structure designed should satisfy the criterion of serviceability,
which Jimits the deflections and cracking to be within acceptable lim-
its. The structure shoutd also have adequate durability and imperme-
ability, resistance to acids, corrosion, frost etc.4 Reinforced Concrete Design
3) The structure should-have adequate stability against overturning, slid-
ing, buckling, and vibration under the action of loads.
A satisfactory stcuctural design should ensure the three basic criteria of
strength, serviceability and stability. In addition, the structural designer
should also consider aesthetics and economy. The structural designer and
the architect should co ordinate so that the structure designed is not only
aesthetically superior, but also strong enough to safely sustain the designed
loads without any distress during the life time of the structure.
1.4 APPLICATIONS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE
Reinforced concrete is well established, as an important construction
imaterial often preferred to steel construction mainly due to its versatility,
adaptability, and resistance to fire and corrosion resuiting in negligible
maintenance costs. Development of better quality cements during the last
decade has resulted in stronger and more durable concrete for use in dif-
ferent types of structures.
Reinforced concrete is ideally suited for the construction of floor and
roof slabs, columns and beams in residential and commercial structures.
‘The present trend is to adopt reinforced concrete for bridges of small,
medium and long spans resulting in aesthetically superior and economical
structures in comparison with steel bridges.
Typical use of reinforced concrete in earth retaining structures Includes
abutments for bridges and retaining walls for éarthen embankments.
Reinforced concrete is ideally suited for water retaining structures like
ground and overhead tanks and hydraulic structures like gravity and arch
dams. The material is widely used for the construction of large domes for
water tanks and sports stadiums and conference halls.
Reinforced concrete grid floors comprising beams and slabs are widely
used for covering large areas like conference halls where column free
space is an essential requirement.
For aircraft hangers, reinforcement concrete shells comprising of thin
circular slabs and deep edge beams provide an economical solution.
Reinforced concrete folded plate construction has been used for indus-
trial structures where large column free space is required under the roof.
In coastal areas where corrosion is imminent due to humid
environment, reinforced concrete is ideally suited for the construction of
marine structures like wharfs, quay walls, watchtowers, and lighthouses.
For warehouses in coastal areas, reinforced concrete trusses are preferred
to steel trusses. a
Keinforced concrete poles have almost replaced steel poles for power
transmissions, Tall towers for T.V.transmission are invariably constructed
using reinforced concrete.

~ ‘Introduction. 5
Multistorey reinforced concrete buildings are routinely adopted for
both residential and office complexes. For heavy-duty floors.in factories,
reinforced concrete is ideally suited due to its resistance to wear and tear
and improved durability.
In atomic structures, reinforced concrete is preferred to steel for pres-
sure vessel construction due to the superior radiation absorption character-
istics of high strength and high density concrete.
Reinforced concrete piles, both precast and cast in sites have been in
use for foundations of structures of different types likes bridges and build-
ings.
Another novel application of reinforced concrete is in the construction
of pavements for highways and airport runways.
‘The Twentieth century has witnessed reinforced concrete as a revolu-
tionary material suitable for the construction of most simple to complex
structures. With significant improvements in the quality of cement and
steel, reinforced conerete will continue to find néw applications and wide-
spread use in the 21st century.
1.5 REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
Any type of structure may be considered as an assemblage of various
structural elements, which perform a predetermined function of resisting
various types of forces. Basically a structure can be built up using struc-
tural and non-structural elements", The structural elements (beams, stabs
columns etc,) have the primary function of resisting the external loads,
while the nonstructural elements (partitions, false ceiling, doors ete.) do
not support the external loads.
Basically, the structural elements can be classified as one-dimensional
elements (Ex: beams, columns, arches etc) or two-dimensional elements
(Ex: slabs, plates, shells ete.) and three-dimensional elements (thick pipes,
walls of nuclear reactor vessels, domes etc.)
Circular girders generally used in water tanks are subjected combined
flexure, shear and torsion while the corner columns in a multistorey framed
structure is subjected to biaxial bending,
a) One Way Slab Systems
Fig. 1.1(a) shows the floor system comprising ‘a one-way slab supported at
the edges by walls or beains and supports dead and live loads. The slabs
are subjected primarily to maximum flexure at centre of span along the
shorter dircction and maximum shear at supports under gravity loads.Kemsforcea Concrete Design

1.6 DESIGN CODES AND HAND BOOKS
‘) Objective of Codes
Based on extensive research and practical knowledge, various countries
have evolved their national codes, which serve as guidelinés for the design
of structures. The main objectives of the codes are
1) To provide adequate structural safety by ensuring strength, service-
ability and durability. .
2) To specify simple design procedures, design tables and formulae for
easy computations.
3) To provide legal validity and to protect structural engineers form any
liability due to failures of structures caused by inadequate design and
improper materials and lack of proper supervision during construc-
tion.
4) To provide a uniform set of design guide lines to be followed by vari-
ous structural designers in the country.
National building codes are periodically revised to reflect the improve-
ments in the quality of materials and design procedures evolved as a result
of comprehensive research investigations conducted. in the various
institutions in the country-and abroad.
Introduction 11
b) Design Codes and Handbooks
All reinforced concrete structural design in our country should confotm to
the recently revised Indian Standard Code 1S:456-2000 Code of practice
for plain and reinforced concrete (Fourth Revision). The corresponding
national codes of other countries, which are often referred to, are the
Aunerican Concrete Institute Code ACI-318 and the British Code BS:
8110.
The design examples presented in this book conform to the Indian
standard code. The Bureau of Indian standards have released over the years
several handbooks to facilitate reinforced concrete structural designers to
design routine structural elements quickly by referring to the various tables
and graphs presented in the handbooks.
The following handbooks will serve as useful design aids for structural
conerete designers.

1,7, LOADING STANDARDS
Reinforced concrete structures are clesigned to resist the following types of
Toads: -
a) Dead Loads
These are loads that will not change with respect to time. The dead loads
acting on the structure include the self-weight of the structural elements,
partitions, and finishes, which depends upon the type of material used in
the structure. The Indian standard code IS: 875(Part-1) - 1987'7 prescribes
the unit weight of building materials and stored materials to be used in the
design. Salient dead loads of most common materials used in structural
elements are presented in Table 1.1

¢) Wind Loads
Wind loads have to be considered in the design of multistorey buildings,
towers and poles. Wind loads depend upon the intensity of wind prevailing
in the locality of the structure. 1S: 875(Part-3) -1987" prescribes basic
Wind speeds in various zones by dividing the country into 6 zones. The
. design wind pressure is computed as
p,=0.6¥2
Where _p, = design wind pressure in N/mm? at a height Z and
V, = design wind velocity in m/s at a height Z.
Wind Load ‘F acting ina direction normal to the individual structural
element or cladding unit is commputed as,

Pa = design wind pressure.
‘The values of external and internal pressure coefficients depend upon
the type of Structure and are presented in a tabular form in IS 875 (Part-3) -
1987. ‘
d) Snow Loads and Local Combinations
Structures subjected to snow loads'have to be designed suitably by consid-
ering the snow loads prevailing in the region and also the various load
combinations, ‘These are specified in IS 875 (Part-4) and (Part-5) - 1987"°
~respectively.
e) Earth Quake Loads
Seismic or earthquake forces have to be considered in the design of struc-
tures located in seismic zones according to 1$:1893-84". The horizontal
seismic force (F,.) is computed as,
Fg? (@BAG]
Where & = Horizontal seismic coefficient depending on location with
values of 0.08, 0.05, 0,04, 0.02, and 0.01 for Zones V, IV,
HL, 11, and I.
B = A coefficient depending on soil-foundation system ranging
from 1.0 to1.5
4 = A coefficient depending upon the importance of the struc-
ture varying from 1.5 to!.0
G = Dead load above the section considered.
Structures located in Zone Y to IU (Severe earthquake zone) should be
designed for seismic forces.
CHAPTER 2
Materials For Reinforced Concrete
2,1 CONCRETE
Plain Concrete is a composite material composing of cement, aggregate
and water, in suitable proportions. Cement reacts‘in thie presence of water
to produce complex compounds which gradually harden and bonds the
aggregate comprising sand and coarse aggregate into a solid mass with —
time. Fresh concrete exhibits plasticity and flowability so that it can be
placed irito the moulds of required shape and compacted to form a dense
mass. The compacted and hardened concrete is cured in the presence of
water so that it gains most of its strength within four weeks, after which the
external loads can be applied.
2.1.1 Cement
Various types of cements have been developed for use in different types of
structures. For a detailed study of the type and properties of different types
of cements, the reader may refer to the treatise on properties of concrete
authored by Neville.
According to IS: 456-2000, the types of cements and their suitability
for a specific situation are outlined in Table.2.1.
2.1.2 Aggregates
In concrete, aggregate volume is nearly 75 percent of the total volume.
Hence, the structural behavior of concrete is significantly influenced by the
type of aggregates used. Fine aggicgate comprises of sand dug out from
tiverbeds and pits having particle sizes from 0.075 mm to 4.75 mm.
Crushed rock and gravel are generally used as coarse aggregates with
maximum size of 10 mm, 20 and 40 mm. For reinforced concrete work 10
and 20 mm are commonly used. For mass concrete works like dams, larger
Sizes of aggregates upto 150 mm are used. The nominal maximum size of
Coarse aggregate should be as large as possible but it should be limited:to
one fourth of the minimum thickness of the member. Lightweight and
heavy weight aggregates are also used in specific works. The various“116: : Reinforced Concrete Design

Crushed rock and gravel aggregates with specific gravity in the range
of 2.5 to 2.7 yields concrete with a density in the range of 23 to 24 kN/mi
However special concretes like light weight and high density required for,
specific applications can be produced by using suitable aggregates. :
Light weight aggregates” generally used to produce structural light’

countries. Light Weight concrete is used in the block making industry
and also in reinforced and prestressed concrete constructions.”

2.1.3 Concrete Mix Proportions
The main objective of eqnerete mix design is to select the optimum pro-
portion of the varions ingredients of concrete, which will yield fresh con-
crete of desirable workabllity and hardened concrete. possessing the
specified: characteristic compressive strength and durability. The mix
Propottions should also satisfy the additional requirement of the use of
minimum possible cement content so that the maximum economy is
achieved in the unit cost of concrete according to the author”.
a) Nominal Mix Concrete
The Revised indian Standard Code IS: 456-2000, prescribes the propor-
tons of ingredients of concrete for nominal mixes of conerete grades lower
M-20 which are used for ordinary and small works, as shown in Table

b) Design Mix Concrete
ror aimporiant works involving large quantities of concrete, it is prefer-
to use design mix, which results in considerable economy ensuring the
required strength. The design mix uses the following parameters:-
1) Type of cement
2) Aggregate size and grading
3) Water / Cement ratio
4) Aggregate / Cement ratio18 Reinforced Concrete Design
«5) Workability of concrete
6): Relation between mean and maximum strength and standard deviation
7) Grade of concrete
Over the years, several mix design methods have been developed based
‘on the above parameters, The most prominent, well-established and widely
used methods are,
1) The American Conérete Institute Method”,
2) The British Method, developed by Teychenne, Franktin and Erntroy"®
3) The Indian Standard Method”.
‘The above methods are based on extensive experimental investigations
in their respective countries. A critical review of the Indian, British and
American methods of concrete mix design has been reported by Krishna
Reddy” and the author. The salient experimental observations being that
the American and British methods resulted in conerete having compressive
strength nearly equal to the desired characteristic strength while the Indian
Standard method yields significantly higher compressive strength than the
desired characteristic strength. Also the concrete mixes designed by’ the
Indian Standard Code method utilized the highest cement content for unit
volume of concrete in comparison with the American and British methods,
For exhaustive information regarding the format of design of. concrete
mixes of various types and computer aided design of mixes, the reader may
refer to the treatise on ‘Design of Concrete Mixes’ recently revised by the
author”.
¢) Properties of Concrete
i) Compressive strength
The Characteristics strength is defined as the strength of material below
which not more than 5 percent of the test results are expected to fall. The
concrete mix should be designed for the target strength computed as,
Target Strength = (Characteristic Strength) + (1.65 time the Standard
deviation)
The Indian Standard Code IS: 456-2000 specifies the characteristic
compressive strength of 150 mm cubes at the age of 28days as Grades of
concrete varying from 15 to 50 N/mm? designated as M-15 to M-50. For
Reinforced concrete, the minimum grade of concrete to be used is M-20.
ii) Tensile Strength
The flexural strength of| concrete generally referred to as Tensile strength is
Materials bor Kenijoreeu Conerere ay
required to compute the on set of visible cracks in a concrete structure
under flexure. For computation of load factor against cracking, knowledge
of the flexural strength is required, According to IS: 456-2000, the tensile
strength of concrete can be computed from the compressive strength using
the empirical relation given by
Flexural strength f.= 0.7 Wf, Némm?
Where fy = Characteristic cube compressive strength of concrete «Nimm’)
iii) Modulus of Elasticity
Modulus of elasticity of concrete which is significantly influenced by the
type of the aggregates used, type of cement and mix proportions is an
important property required for the computations of deflections of struc-
tural concrete members which forms an important limit state in the design
of concrete members. In the absence of test data, the modulus of elasticity
of concrete is normally related to the compressive strength and is com-
puted by the empirical relation recommended by IS: 456-2000 code and is
expressed as, _
: E,= 5000 Vf,
Where E, is the short-term static modulus of elasticity of concrete
expressed in N/min*.
fa is the characteristic compressive strength of concrete expressed in
N/mm? :
iv) Shriukage of Concrete
The ingredients of concrete and environmental conditions like temperature
and humidity influence the total shrinkage of concrete. Water content in
concrete significantly affects the shrinkage. The IS: Code 456-2000 rec-
ommends the total shrinkage strain as 0.0003 in the absence of test data.
Drying shrinkage in plain concrete may result in surface cracks. Shrinkage
of concrete also influences the deflections of reinforced concrete members.
y) Creep of concrete
The inelastic time dependent strain developed in a concrete member under
sustained loading is referred to as creep of concrete: Creep of concrete is
influenced by cement content, W/C ratio, A/C fe io, temperature and
humidity, size, of the structural element, type of loading and’ period of
loading. .f36°’ Reinforced Conérete Design
In the absence of reliable experimental data, the creep coefficient is
expressed as the ratio of ultimate creep strain / elastic strain at various ages
of loading as recommended by IS: 456-2000 are given in Table 23.
Table 2.3 Creep coefficient (IS: 456-2000)
‘Age at Loading Creep coofficiont
7 days 22
28 days 16
year 4A
Creep of concrete significantly affects the deflections of reinforced
concrete flexural members. Higher creep coefficient results in larger
deflections, The value of creep coefficient is useful in the computation of
time dependent deflections in reinforced concrete members.
vi) Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
“The coefficient of thermal expansion of conerete, influenced mainly by the
type of aggregate used in concrete is required for the design of structures
like chimneys, water ianks, silos ctc. ‘The values recommended in IS:
456-2000 are compiled in Table 2.4.

- vii) Durability of Concrete ~
a) General Features
Concrete is durable if it performs satisfactorily without deterioration when
exposed to different types of exposure conditions during its service life.
‘The main factors influencing durability ate, the type of environment, the
‘type of quality of concrete, cement content, water/cement ratio, workman-
ship, cover to the embedded reinforcement, the shape and size of the
structural member. IS: 456-2000 categorizes the exposure conditions into
six types designated as a) mild b) moderate, ¢) severe d) very severe ¢)
extreme f) abrasive.
The Indian code prescribes the miim cement and maximum water-
cement ratios to be used in concrete for different exposure conditions to

‘The values of cement content, water/cement ratio and minimum grade
of concrete-for normal weight aggregates of 20mm nominal maximum size
are compiled in Table 2.5 and the adjustments required for cement content
when other sizes of aggregates used aré shown in Table 2.6.

b) Freezing and thawing
‘Under severe exposure conditions where concrete is subjected to freezing
and thawing, it is. preferable to use air-entrained concrete for grades less
than M-50, Air entrained concrete obtained-by using air entraining admix-
tures is ideatly suited to resist the destructive effects of freezing and thaw-
ing conditions,-The IS; 456-2000 code recommends the percentages of
entrained air for nominal maximum size of aggregates of 20 and 40 mm as
shown in Table 2,7. t

Notes:
1) Minimum Cement Content prescribed in the Table is irrespective of
grgdes of cement and it is inclisive of supplementary cementatious
materials such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag or silica
fume.

*. fied. . .
‘
¢) Exposure to sulphate attack
Concrete used in marine structures is subjected to extreme exposure con-
ditions due to the sulphate bearing waters of the sea. Depending upon the
concentration of sulphate expressed as SO, ,different types of cements are
preferred to resist the destructive effects of sulphate bearing waters in
marirfe environment.
1S: 456-2000 recommends different types of coments from ordinary
Portland to sulphate resulting Portland depending upon the sulphate con-
tents, The minimum cement content and the corresponding maximum free
water/cement ratios are compiled in Table 2.8.
4) Fire resistance, Corrosion and Cover requirements for
R.C.C. members
The alkaline environment of Portland cement concrete generally protects
embedded steel reinforcement, against corrosion from various environ-
mental agencies. However, the carbonation of hydrated cement gradually
progresses from the surface to the interior of conerete, thus reducing the
effective protection provided by the concrete against rusting of steel rein-
~ forcement. Many codes have provided for minimum cover requirements in
- this regard, It is important to note the thickness of clear cover and the
density of concrete in the protection to steel against corrosion and fire
resistance.
Notes:
I) Cement content given in Table 2.7 for ordinary Portland cement is
irrespective of grades of cement.
2) Use of supersulphated cement is generally resteicted wheré the pre-
vailing temperature is above 40°C.
3) Supersulphated cement gives an acceptable life provided that the con-
crete is dense and prepared with a water/ceinent ratio of 0.4 or tess, In
mineral acids, down to pH 3.5.

4) Thie cement contents given in class 2 are the minimum recommended.
For SO} contents néar the upper limit of class 2, cement contents
© above these minimums are advised.
5) | For severe conditions such as thin sections under hydrostatic pressure
on one side only and sections partly immersed, considerations should
be given toa flurther reduction of water/cement ratio.
6) Portland slag-cement conforming to IS: 455-1989 with slag content
more than 50 percent exhibits better sulphate resisting properties.
7) Where chloride is also encountered along with sulphate in soil or
ground water, ordinary Portland cement with C,A content from 5to8
percent shall be desirable to be used in concrete, instead of sulphate
resisting cement. Alternatively, a blend of ordinary Portland cement
and slag may also be used provided sufficient information is available
on performance of such blended cements in these conditions.
The Indian Standard Code IS: 456-2000 provides for separate nominal
cover requirements to meet durability and fire resistance requirements. The
cover requirements varying from 20 to 75 mm for durability requirements
depend upon the type of exposure conditions as outlined in Table 2.9.
‘These covers may be used for reinforcements in beams and slabs. In the
case of longitudinal reinforcements in columns, the code prescribes a

2.1.4 Progress in Concrete Strength and its use in Buildings
Over the ‘years, phenomenal progress has been achieved to produce con-
crete of higher compressive strength through continuous research resulting
in the production of cements of superior quality. In 1950, concrete grades
of M-15 to M-40 were commonly used. The dawri of 21st century has wit-
nessed concrete grades ranging from M-30 toM-100. Table 2.11 shows the,
progress in concrete strength from 1959. to 1990, Recent developments in
the technology of cement production in Japan indicates that it is possible to
achieve conerete grades exceeding M-100 by using Ultra High strength
cements,
Fig 2.1 shows ‘the various types of reinforced concrete buildings in
which concrete of different grades and sfcel reinforcement of different |
strengths find extensive applications, 21" century will herald in a big way
the use of high strength concrete and steel in the construction industry.

Reinforcements used in reinforced concrete work should be free from
loose mill scale, loose rust, oil, mud and any other substance, which
reduces bond between steel and concrete which is vital for composite
actions, The modulus of elasticity of steel of all grades is taken- as 200
-kN/mm’, The characteristic yield strength of different types of steels shall
be assumed as the minimum yield or 0.2 percent proof stress.
‘The norninal diameters presently available in India are 5, 6, 8, 10, 12,
16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 45 and 50mm. The most commonly used
type of reinforcement is the high strength deformed bars with a specified
yield strength of 415 N/mm’, since the surface characteristics with pro-
truding ribs result in increased bond between concrete and steel in com-
parison with mild steel bars with plain surface.“8° Reinforced Concreté’ Design
‘The stress-strain curve shown in Fig. 2.2 indicates that all steets exhibit
increase in strength beyond the yield point due to strain hardening. How-
ever, for design purposes this increase in sfrength ‘beyond. yield point is
generally neglected. In general, the design codes recommended the use of
idealized elasto-plastic stress-strain curve witl an initial linear clastic line
up to yield followed by a line at constant stress, denoting post-yield beha-
viour.

Elastic Theory of Reinforced
Concrete Sections in Flexure
4.1 ELASTIC THEORY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE
SECTIONS
The working stress method of design’ of reinforced concrete structures
developed during the beginning of 20th centuiy is based on the elastic
theory of reinforced concrete sections. The working stress method is based
on the assumptions that the structural materials behave in a linear elastic
manner and the required safety is ensured by restricting the stresses in the
materials under service or working loads, The permissible stresses in con-
crete and steel are obtained by dividing the characteristic strength of the
material by the factor of safety to restrict the working stress in the material
under service loads to be well within the linear elastic phase of the materi-
als. .

Below the neutral axis, the steel area is converted into an
equivalent area of concrete by multiplying the stecl area by modular ratio
and this area contributes to the tensile force for equilibrium of the section.

steel are obtained by applying a factor of safety of 1.78.
In the design of reinforced concrete members, the most commonly
used grades of concrete are M-20 and M-25. The revised Indian standard
code IS: 456-2000 prescribes M-20 as the minimum grade of concrete for
reinforced concrete while M-15 and M-10 may be used for plain concrete
constructions.
For Design office use, it is convenient to use the values of design coef-
ficients ‘j’ and ‘Q” to check the depth of the section and to compute the
area of reinforcements required to resist the working moment ‘M’ using
equations (3) and (4). The valties of design coefficients are compiled in
Table 4.3, for the most commonly used grades of concrete.

Limit State Method of Design
5.1, PHILOSOPHY OF LIMIT STATE DESIGN
The inadequacies of the elastic and ultimate load methods of. design paved
the way for the limit state method of design with a semi-probabilistic
approach, Limit state design is a method of designing structures based ona
statistical concept of safety and the associated statistical probability of
failure. Structures designed should satisfy the dual criterion of
a) Safety and
b) Serviceability. tae
Safety may be defined as an acceptable degree of security against complete
collapse or failure, which in concrete structures can occur by various
modes such as compression, tension, flexure, shear, torsion, fatigue or their
combinations.
Serviceability requirement means that thé member or structure should not
in its intended lifetime deteriorate to sich an extent that it fails to fulfil its
function for which it is designed. In concrete structures, this state may be
reached due to excessive deflection, cracking, vibration, corrosion of rein-
forcement etc.
Limit state design philosophy 39.40 uses the concept of probability and
is based on the application of the method of statistics to the variations that
occur in practice in the Joads acting on the structure and the strengths of
the materials. The evolution of limit State method of design over the years
is presented in Fig. 5.1.
5.2. LIMIT STATE DESIGN AND CLASSICAL RELIABILITY
THEORY
In Limit state design, probabilistic concepts are explicitly incorporated for
the first time. Applications of classical reliability theory" to structural
design require comprehensive statistical data regarding loads and strengths
and their exact shapes of normal distribution curves. At present the proba-
bilities of failure that are socially acceptable must be kept very low (lina
million). At such low levels, the probability of failure is very sensitive to
the exact shape of the normal distribution curves. To determine exact‘
shapes of normal distributton curves, we require very large numbers of

statistical data and such comprehensive data is not yet available. In partic-
ular, sufficient numbers of extreme values of the strengths. of Complete
structures (to define accurately the shapes of the tails of the normal
distribution curves) may. never be available.
In.a simple example, only one type of load and one-strength variables
are used, For a real structure, there willin general be many types of loads
and many modes of failure, normnally with complex correlations between
themi‘making it very difficult to calculate the probability of failure’, Hence
in the Jimit state design, our engineering experience and judgement have
béen used to modify and to remedy the inadequacies.of earlier design
methods and partly use the probabilistic concepts. Hence, it is appropriate
to designate the limit. state design method uirtently practiced as Semi
probabilistic approach to structural design.
5.3 LIMIT. STATES
“A structure may become unfit for its intended purpose in a number of ways
in terms of either Safoty or Serviceability. The prominent limit states ared Concrete Design _

The structure may collapse due to rupture of one or more critical sections,

affecting the finishes causing discomfort to the users. Also the structure
may suffer excessive local damage resulting in cracking or spalling of
concrete which impairs the efficiency or appearance of the structure.
5.4 SAFETY FACTORS
Safety is expressed in terms of the probability that the structure will not
become unfit for its intended function during its usefiil life that is the
structure will not reach a limit state. The initial idea of referring to a single
failure criterion has been replaced by the comprehensive concept of multi-
ple limit states, With this concept the local or the overall behaviour in all
stages—clastic, cracked, inelastic and ultimate—are considered. In the limit. |
state approach, a structure-is considered as well designed if it could be
shown that the probability of any limit state being attained is substantially *
constant for all the component members and for the structure as a whole
and that consequently, the latter posses adequate and uniform structural
safety. Due to the number of variables involved, a rational determination of
the safety of a structure, based on probability theory is not yet practical in
the design office. Partial safety factors are therefore introduced for each
limit state and these consist of Y, » teduction factor for characteristic
strength of materials and y, , enhancement factors for characteristic loads
on the structure.
5.5. CHARACTERISTIC AND DESIGN STRENGTHS AND
PARTIAL SAFETY FACTORS ‘
‘The variation in the properties of concrete and steel are expressed as char-
acteristic values related to the mean values and standard variation.
Characteristic Strength (f) = [Mean strength — kx Standard Deviation}
Where ‘k? is a factor chosen to ensure that the probability of the character-
istic strength not being exceeded is small. Many of the national odes
including the Indian standard code IS: 456 - 2000 have recommended a
value of 1.65 for & so that only 5 percent of the test results could have a

strength less than the-characteristic strength. *- ts
In the absence of statistical data, the characteristic strength of concrete
and steel may be taken as the works cube strength and minimum proof or
yield strength respectively as recommended in the current codes.
Since the materials in the structure are’ likely to differ in quality from
those tested, design strengths are obtained by dividing the characteristic
strength by Yq) the appropriate partial safety factor for the Limit State
being considered. The proposed values for the partial safety factors are as
given in Table 5.1, a ;
In contrast the ACI Code“ provides for these variations in material
strengths and workmanship in the form of capacity reduction factors.

Where k is a factor; which ensures that the probability of the characteristic

loads can not be assessed in this way'due to lack of statistical information
about the nature of loads and it is necessary to assume that the characteris-
tic loads are equivalent to the values of loads currently recommended in
the loading standards IS: 875". The revised code 1S: 456-2000
distinguishes between three types of loading in traditional use which are
dead, imposed or live and wind Joad, In addition, loads resulting from the
effects of creep, shrinkage or temperature ate also considered if their effect

The most common types of structural concrete elements comprise, slabs,
beams and columns, which are used extensively in buildings of all types.
Reinforced concrete slabs are primarily subjected to flexure and shear
while beams have to be designed to resist flexure and shear and also tor-
bination of these forces in some cases. Coluinns are primatily

This Chapter deals with the theoretical concepts involved in devetop-
ing the strength computations of reinforced concrete sections under differ-
ent states of stress and the basis of the various formulae given in IS:
456-2000, Section-S. Structural Design (Limit State Method) and
Annexure-G-containing various formulae for the computation of flexural :
strength of rectangular and flanged reinforced conerete sections.
Struetural designers and students should be familiar with the deri
ations to have a better insight into the design process. However practical ‘
designers may use the formulae given in the codes or the tables and charts
of "Design Aids to 1S:456" published as special publication SP:16", by
the Bureau of Indian Standards. Designers may also refer to the Manual for
limit state design of Reinforced concrete members authored by Varyani
and Radhaji*’ which contains exhaustive design tables and charts to facili.

6.2.2. Balanced, Under reinforced and Over reinforced Sections
Reinforced concrete sections in flexure reach the failure stage when the
compressive strain in concrete reaches a value of 0.0035 as shown in
Fig. 6.2, When the sections are reinforced in such a way that the tension
steel reaches the yield strain of
8, = [(0.87f) / E, + 0.002]
and simultaneously the concrete strain is €, = 0,0035, then the section is
termed as Balanced. In Under reinforced sections, the tension steel
reaches yield strain at loads lower than the load at which concrete reaches
the failure strain.
When the steel yields earlier than concrete, there will be excessive
deflections and cracking with a clear indication of impending failure,
Hence it is preferable to design beams as underreinforced since failure will
take place after yielding of steel with clear warning signals like excessive
deflections and cracking before the ultimate failure,

Over reinforced sections are those in which concrete reaches the yield
strain earlier than that of steel. Over reinforced beams fail by compression
failure of concrete without much warning and with very few cracks and
negligible deflections, Over reinforced concrete beams are not preferred
since they require large quantities of steel and they fail suddenly with
explosive failures without any warning.

6.2.4 Moment of Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Sections
The moment of resistance of rectangular reinforéed concrete sections can
be computed by using the stress diagram assumed at the limit state of
collapse shown in Fig. 6.2. Taking moments about the centre of compres-
sion,
M,=T (d-0.42x,)
Substituting x,= [9are4u) from Eq. (6.1)
and T=(0.87A,f,) | ~
Hence M,=0.87 Af, [d - 0.42 (0.87 f, A,/0.36 fi, 6)
Simplifying and rearranging,

Eq (6.3) can be used for estimating the flexural strength of sections in-
which (,/d) is tess than the limiting valuc given in Table-6.1. This equa-
tion is specified in ANNEX-G of IS: 456-2000.
Expressing the area of steel as a percentage of the effective area, we
have

For a given value of (M,/bd’], f, and f,, the value of ‘p’ can be computed.
This is presented in 1.S,Publication SP: 16 as design tables. In these tables,
the percentage of tension steel in the beam corresponds to the yield stress
in steel when the beam fails by yielding of steel as in under reinforced
sections. The design tables 1 to 4 in SP: 16 are very useful for structural
designers to compute the percentage of tensile steel for known values of

6.2.6 Use of Design Charts and Tables of SP: 16 for Singly
Reinforced beams and slabs
. The Indian Standards Institution's special Publication SP: 16, Design Aids
for Reinforced concrete to IS: 456(1978) or (2000) contains a number of
charts and tables for design of reinforced concrete members. Based on
- Equations (6.3) and (6.6), the various charts and tables have been evolved.
The following are the data presented in SP: 16 for design and analysis
of beams and slabs of singly reinforced concrete sections,
1) Tables 1 to 4 give the percentage steel required for Various values of
(M,Jbd’) and f, for concrete grades f,, = 15, 20, 25, and 30. Three typ-
ical tables for féy = 20, 25 and 30 are presented in Tables 6.5, 6.6 and
6.7 in the text.
2) Tables 5 to 44 give the moment of resistance per metre width for var-
ious thicknesses of slabs (¢ = 10 to 25 cm) for different bar diameters
and spacing for various values of f, and fu.
3) Charts 1 to 18 present the moment of resistance per metre width for
varying depths (5 to 80 cm) and varying percentage of steel and for
two toncrete grades of f,, = 15 and 20 using steel grades of f, = 250,
415 and 500.
The SP: 16 design tables and charts are. very useful for structural
designers, since the designs of beams and slabs can be quickly worked out
and checked without using the detailed procedure ‘of using the design
equations.
6.2.7 Analysis Examples
1) A singly reinforced concrete beam having a width of 250 mm is rein-
forced with stecl bars of area 3600 mm? at an effective depth of69

‘The flexural strength of flanged beams (Tee and L-beams) depends upon

When the neutral axis falls outside the flange and the ratio (D; / d) > 0.2,
we cannot assume that the flange is uniformly stressed as in case (2).
Hence the expression for case (2) is modified by substituting y, for D, in
Eq. (6.8) where

6.3.5 Use of Design Aids (SP: 16) for Design of Flanged Beams
In most eases of tee beams used in buildings, the neutral axis falls within
the flange and the computation of steel area can be made as in the design of
rectangular teams using Tables | to 4 of SP: 16. In the case of tee beams in
which the neutral axis falls in the rib, design Tables provided in LS. Spe-
cial publication SP: 24" (Explanatory Hand Book on IS: 456) are very
useful in computing the area of reinforcement for a given tee beam to resist
a specified bending moment.
SP: 16 designs Tables 57 to 59 are also useful to compute the limiting
moment of resistance factor (Myjim / by, » « fx) for singly reinforced Tee
beams. The tables cover different grades of steel (250, 415 and 500) and
ratios of (yd) varying from 0.06 to 0.45 and ratios of (b/b,.) varying from
1 to 10. These tables are presented as Tables 6.8, 6.9 covering Fe-415 and
500 grade steels in the text.

For values of (d’/d) up to 0.2, the stress in concrete in the extreme fibre
is equal to 0.45 fy, and for mild steel reinforcement f,, would be equal to the
design yield stiess having a value of 0.87 f,, When the reinforcement is
cold worked bars, the design stress in compression reinforcement f. for
different values of (d’/d) is shown in Table 6.10, based on SP: 16. ;
The reinforcements Ay, Agr and A,, in the doubly reinforced section is
computed using the following steps.
- 1) Equating tensile force in steel and compressive force in concrete, we

If. €,,> 0.00125, then f, = 0.87 f
For HYSD bars, obtain the value of f,, from the stress-strain curve shown
in Fig. 6.3. (Fig. 3 of SP: 16-1980).
3) Calculate the value of Ay using the relation: Aga = (foe Asc) 0.87 A]

5) Calculate the value of x, using the relation,

value of x, .
7) Comparing this value fx, with %,sine calculate the value of M,
8) IF xy<2,jine COMpute the value of the moment capacity of section as-

This method of computing the moment of resistance is referred to as the
strain compatibility method or force equilibrium method and it gives a
correct value of the moment of resistance of the section.
