Course Objective
The main objective of this course is to develop, in the en-

gineering student, the ability to analyze and design a re-
inforced concrete member subjected to different types of
forces in a simple and logical manner using the basic prin-
ciples of mechanics and some empirical formulas based on
experimental results.

Introduction
“Structural design is the art of using materials we do not

fully understand to create geometry we cannot accurately
analyze to withstand forces we cannot confidently predict in
such a way that the general public has no reason to suspect
our ignorance.”– (Anonymous).

Introduction
Structural design can be defined as a mixture of art and

science, combining the engineer’s feeling for the behavior
of a structure with a sound knowledge of the principles of
statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and structural
analysis, to produce a safe economical structure that will
serve its intended purpose. – (Salmon and Johnson).

Analysis versus Design
Structural Analysis:
Structural Analysis is the prediction of the performance of a given structure
under prescribed loads and/or other effects, such as support movements and
temperature change.
Structural Design:
Structural design is the art of utilizing principles of statics, dynamics and
mechanics of materials to determine the size and arrangement of structural
elements under prescribed load and/or other effects.

Introduction
Purpose of structural design:

• Minimize Cost
• Minimize Weight of the structure

Standard acceptance test for measuring the strength of concrete
involves short-time compression tests.
• Cylinder 600 × 1200 (ASTM Standards C31 and C39)
• Cylinder 400 × 800 (ASTM Standards)
Factors affecting concrete compressive strength

1. Water/cement ratio: A lower water/cement ratio reduces the
porosity of the hardened concrete and thus increases the number of
interlocking solids.

Effect of water-cement ratio on 28-day compressive and flexural tensile strength.

2. Type of cement:
1. Type I, Normal: used in ordinary construction, where special properties
are not required.
2. Type II, Modified: lower heat of hydration than Type I; used where
moderate exposure to sulfate attack exists or where moderate heat of
hydration is desirable.
3. Type III, High early strength: used when high early strength is desired;
has considerably higher heat of hydration than Type I.
4. Type IV, Low heat: developed for use in mass concrete dams and other
structures where heat of hydration is dissipated slowly. In recent years,
very little Type IV cement has been produced. It has been replaced
with a combination of Types I and II cement with fly ash.
5. Type V, Sulfate resisting: used in footings, basement walls, sewers, and
so on that are exposed to soils containing sulfates.

Effect of type of cement on strength gain of concrete (moist cured, water/cement
ratio = 0.49).

duced by cold curing temperatures

month increase the 1- and 3-day

The standard cylinder test is carried out
at a loading rate of roughly 35 psi per
second.
The maximum load is reached in 1.5 to
2.0 minutes, corresponding to a strain
rate of 10 microstain/sec
Under very slow rates of loading, the axial
compressive strength is reduced to about
75 percent of the standard test strength
At high rates of loading, the strength in-
creases, reaching 115 percent of the stan-
dard test strength when tested at a rate

accompanied by splitting in the direction parallel to the load and volume increase.

dicular directions with essentially no stress or restraint of deformation in the third

cluded that the strength of con-
crete subjected to biaxial compres-
sion may be as much as 27% higher

the strength increase is approxi-
mately 16%.

approximately equal to the uniaxial

appropriate load factors. A member is designed so that its strength is
reduced by a reduction safety factor. The strength at failure is
commonly called the Ultimate Strength.

Types of flexural failure of a structure member

1. Tension Failure: Steel may reach its yield strength before the concrete
reaches its maximum εcu = 0.003. (Under-reinforced section).
2. Balanced Failure: Steel reaches yield at same time as concrete reaches
ultimate strength. (Balanced section).
3. Compression Failure: Concrete may fail before the the yield of steel due to
the presence of a high percentage of steel in the section. (Over-reinforced

If a beam section with good ductile behavior was overloaded accidentally, it would
soften and experience some plastic rotations that would permit loads to be redis-
tributed to other portions of the continuous floor system. Thus, it is desirable to
have a ductile section.
[ACI 10.3.3] Sections are compression-controlled if the net tensile strain in the
extreme tension steel, εt , is equal to or less than the compression-controlled strain
limit when the concrete in compression reaches its assumed strain limit of 0.003.
The compression- controlled strain limit is the net tensile strain in the reinforcement
at balanced strain conditions. For Grade 420 reinforcement, and for all prestressed
reinforcement, it shall be permitted to set the compression-controlled strain limit
equal to 0.002.
Strain distribution and net tensile strain.
[ACI 10.3.4] Sections are tension-controlled if the net tensile strain in the extreme
tension steel, εt , is equal to or greater than 0.005 when the concrete in compression
reaches its assumed strain limit of 0.003. Sections with εt between the compression-
controlled strain limit and 0.005 constitute a transition region between compression-
controlled and tension-controlled sections.
Strain distribution and net tensile strain.
[ACI 10.3.4] A Transition-zone section has a tension-reinforcement area such

that when the beam reaches its nominal flexural strength, the net tensile strain in
the extreme layer of tensile,εt is between 0.002 and 0.005.
[ACI 10.3.5] For nonprestressed flexural members and nonprestressed members
with factored axial compressive load less than 0.10fc0 Ag , εt at nominal strength
shall not be less than 0.004.
Strain distributions at tension-controlled and compression-controlled limits.

Variation of φ with tensile strain in extreme tension steel, εt and c/dt for Grade
420 reinforcement and for prestressing steel.

Example
2. Compute the nominal moment strengths, and the strength reduction factor,
for three singly reinforced rectangular beams, each with a width b = 300 mm
and a total height h = 550 mm as shown.
Beam section.
Example
3. Figure below shows a simply supported beam and the cross section at midspan.
The beam supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load consisting of its
own weight plus 20.4 kN/m and a uniform service (unfactored) live load of
2 kN/m. The concrete strength is 24 MPa, and the yield strength of the
reinforcement is 420 MPa. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. For the
midspan section shown below, compute φMn and show that it exceeds Mu .
