What’s Concrete?
(Fine Aggregates)
Concrete is strong in compression
BUT very weak in tension
Concrete Mixture
PU Dr. Najwa Hany Spring 2020
Reinforcement (Steel bars)
Steel is very strong in tension
Steel Reinforcement
Steel is added to concrete to
compensate the weakness of
concrete in tension

Concrete Cover
▪ Cover is distance from surface of
bar to closest concrete surface.
▪ Important to have cover for 4
primary reasons:
o To bond reinforcement to
concrete,
o To protect reinforcement
against corrosion,
o To protect reinforcement from
strength loss due to
overheating in case of fire,

Moment Capacity of a beam
Consider the following RC slab supported on beams and girders.
The total Dead Load on the slab is D= 2.5 kN/𝑚2
The total Live load on the slab is L= 5 kN/𝑚2

1- Consider a typical interior beam.
4m Find the uniform dead load and live load acting on the
beam
Answer:
4m D = 2.5 * 4 =10 kN/m

2- Find the design load on the beam
Answer:
Since only D and L, then we will only consider the first two
load combinations:
1.4 D = 1.4 (10) = 14 kN/m
1.2 D + 1.6 L = 1.2 (10) + 1.6 (20) = 44 kN/m Max = 44 kN/m = w
