Reinforced concrete is a composite material consisting of concrete and steel reinforcement. François Coignet built the first iron reinforced concrete structure in 1853. Reinforced concrete uses the strengths of both materials - concrete is strong in compression and steel is strong in tension. It is used widely in construction for buildings, bridges, tunnels and other structures due to its high strength and durability.
The document discusses reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structures. It describes two types of building structures - load bearing, where walls transmit loads directly to the ground, and framed structures, where loads are transferred through RCC beams, columns, and slabs. It also discusses design loads on buildings including dead loads from structural weight and live loads. Common RCC structural elements like beams, slabs, shear walls and elevator shafts are described. Raw materials, advantages, specifications, common ratios, one-way and two-way slabs, and examples of RCC structures are covered.
Shoring is the construction of a temporary structure to support an unsafe or unstable structure. There are three main types of shoring: raking shores, flying shores, and dead shores. Raking shores use inclined members called rakers to provide lateral support to walls. Flying shores provide temporary support between party walls when an intermediate building is demolished. Dead shores provide vertical support to walls and structures when the lower part of a wall is removed, such as to add an opening.
The document discusses structural steel, including its composition, properties, types, and applications in construction.

This document discusses raft/mat foundations, including:
- A raft foundation is a thick reinforced concrete slab that supports columns and transmits loads into the soil. It is used for structures with large or uneven column loads.
- Types of raft foundations include flat plate, thickened under columns, beam and slab, box structures, and mats on piles.
- Construction involves soil testing, excavation, reinforcement placement, forming, concrete pouring, and curing. Raft foundations are economic and reduce differential settlement but require treatment for point loads.
Concrete is a composite material made by binding aggregates with a cement paste. It comes in various types depending on the binding material (cement or lime) and purpose (plain, reinforced, pre-stressed). Good concrete has strength, durability, density, water tightness, workability and resistance to wear and tear. Proper mixing, placing, compaction and curing are required to develop these qualities in concrete.
Reinforced concrete uses steel reinforcement bars embedded in concrete to resist tensile stresses that concrete cannot withstand on its own. The document discusses the composition, properties, and uses of plain cement concrete (PCC) and reinforced cement concrete (RCC). It explains that PCC is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregate and water, while RCC includes steel reinforcement to improve the concrete's tensile strength. The document also covers reinforcement techniques, types of reinforcing steel, mix proportions, characteristics of concrete structures, and ready-mix concrete.

Steel structures involve structural steel members designed to carry loads and provide rigidity. Some famous steel structures include the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Tyne Bridge, and Howrah Bridge. Steel structures have advantages like high strength, ductility, elasticity, and ease of fabrication and erection. The Howrah Bridge is a steel cantilever bridge that connects Howrah and Kolkata. When built, it was the 3rd longest cantilever bridge in the world. It uses steel components like I-beams, rivets, and expansion joints and was constructed between 1936-1942.
Joints are easy to maintain and are less detrimental than uncontrolled or uneven cracks. Concrete expands & shrinks with variations in moisture and temp. The overall affinity is to shrink and this can cause cracking at an early age. Uneven cracks are unpleasant and difficult to maintain but usually do not affect the integrity of concrete.

Cracks can be structural or non-structural, and are caused by factors like drying shrinkage, thermal movement, elastic deformation, creep, chemical reactions, and foundation issues. Dampness is usually due to penetrating damp from gaps or rising damp without a proper damp proof course. Preventive measures include proper design, materials, construction practices, and addressing the root causes of defects.
The document discusses the design of staircases. It begins by defining key components of staircases like treads, risers, stringers, etc. It then describes different types of staircases such as straight, doglegged, and spiral. The document outlines considerations for designing staircases like dimensions, loads, and structural behavior. It provides steps for geometric design, load calculations, structural analysis, reinforcement design, and detailing of staircases. Numerical examples are also included to illustrate the design process.
Prestressed concrete uses high-strength steel tendons or cables to put concrete members into compression prior to stresses from service loads being applied. This counters the tensile stresses induced by loading and improves the behavior of the concrete. There are two main methods - pretensioning and post-tensioning. Pretensioning involves stressing steel tendons before concrete is cast, while post-tensioning stresses steel tendons after the concrete has hardened. Losses in prestress over time include elastic shortening, anchorage slip, friction, creep, shrinkage, and steel relaxation. Proper material selection and design can minimize these losses and optimize the performance of prestressed concrete.

This document provides an introduction to reinforced concrete, including its key components and purposes. Reinforced concrete is a composite material made of concrete, which resists compression well but has low tensile strength, and steel reinforcing bars, which resist tension well. Together they create an economical and strong structural material. The document outlines structural elements, design considerations for safety, reliability, and economy, and limit state design principles which ensure structures do not fail under expected loads. It also discusses factors that affect concrete durability and different failure modes in reinforced concrete depending on steel reinforcement ratios.
Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) uses steel reinforcement within concrete to improve its tensile strength. Concrete is strong under compression but weak under tension. Steel reinforcement provides high tensile strength due to its high tensile capacity and good bond with concrete. Steel also has a higher elastic modulus, allowing it to resist forces better than concrete alone under the same extension. Cement is a binder that hardens when mixed with water, and can be classified as hydraulic or non-hydraulic. Hydraulic cement can set even when wet or underwater due to additions like fly ash that allow curing in wet conditions. Portland cement is the most common type and consists mainly of tricalcium silicate, dicalcium sil

The total embodied energy of a building can be reduced significantly by using alternate roofing technique such as RCC Filler slab which has lower embodied energy value.
Filler slab technology is a simple and a very innovative technology for a slab construction. The filler slab is based on the principle that for roofs which are simply supported, the upper part of the slab is subjected to compressive forces and the lower part of the slab experience tensile forces. Concrete is very good in withstanding compressive forces and steel bears the load due to tensile forces. Thus the lower tensile region of the slab does not need any concrete except for holding the steel reinforcements together. Hence concrete in the bottom region of solid RCC slab is replaced by an energy efficient and cost effective material. With reduced consumption of building material for roofing, the cost of the building can be reduced predominantly.
Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) is a composite material made of cement concrete reinforced with steel bars. Some key points:
- François Coignet built the first reinforced concrete structure, a four story house in Paris in 1853.
- RCC is used in the construction of columns, beams, footings, slabs, dams, water tanks, tunnels, bridges, walls and towers due to its high strength and durability.
- The steel reinforcement provides tensile strength, while the concrete primarily resists compressive forces and protects the steel from corrosion. Together they form a very strong, stable structural material.

1 CE133P Introduction to Reinforced Concrete Design (Robles) 2.pdfjoerennelapore
This document provides an introduction to reinforced concrete design. It defines reinforced concrete as a composite material of concrete and steel reinforcement. Concrete provides compressive strength while steel provides the tensile strength lacking in concrete. The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using reinforced concrete, properties of concrete and steel, stress-strain relationships, design codes, and concepts like shrinkage and creep.
This document discusses prestressed concrete and defines key terms like pretensioning and post-tensioning. Pretensioning involves stretching steel tendons before concrete is poured, while post-tensioning stretches steel inserted into hardened concrete. The document covers advantages of prestressing like reduced cracking and member sizes. It also discusses design considerations like prestress losses from shrinkage, creep, and relaxation. Both pretensioning and post-tensioning methods are outlined, along with tendon types like bars, wires, and strands.
This document discusses how to make buildings more ductile and earthquake resistant through proper construction materials and design. It explains that masonry and concrete are brittle materials that fail suddenly, while steel is ductile and can undergo large deformation before failure. Reinforced concrete uses steel reinforcement to make concrete more ductile. For seismic resistance, buildings should be designed like a ductile chain, making weaker members like beams fail through ductile yielding before stronger columns. This requires special seismic design codes to ensure adequate ductility in vulnerable members. Strict quality control is also needed during construction to guarantee ductile behavior.
This document provides a brief history of prestressed concrete, beginning in 1824 with the development of Portland cement. It then outlines several important developments in prestressed concrete technology from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century by innovators from various countries. These include early uses of steel in concrete, prestressing methods like pre-tensioning and post-tensioning, and development of high-strength steel and anchoring systems. It also mentions increased use of prestressed concrete during World War 2 and establishment of professional organizations to support the field.
(1) The document discusses the use of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWA) for the hull of a tension leg platform (TLP) under construction in Norway called the Heidrun platform. LWA concrete has advantages for TLP hulls as it allows for a higher strength concrete structure that can withstand water pressures.
(2) TLPs use vertical columns connected by horizontal pontoons to support the platform deck, with mooring tethers under constant tension to eliminate vertical motion from waves. The location of the center of gravity is important for determining tether forces, with a lower center of gravity reducing forces. LWA concrete allows optimizing this for the Heidrun platform.

This document discusses steel-concrete composite construction. It describes shear connectors, which provide composite action between steel beams and concrete slabs. There are three main types of shear connectors: rigid connectors made of steel bars or angles that resist shear through bearing pressure; flexible stud connectors that bend and fail through yielding; and bond-type connectors that rely on bond and anchoring. The document discusses the design of shear connectors according to Indian codes IRC 22-1986 and IS 11384-1985, providing methods to calculate the design strength of shear connectors.
This document provides an introduction to prestressed concrete, including:
1. The basic principles of prestressing concrete by applying compressive stresses that counteract tensile stresses from loads. This allows for smaller, more durable structures.
2. The two main methods are pre-tensioning, where strands are stressed before casting, and post-tensioning, where strands are tensioned after casting through ducts.
3. Common uses include precast beams, slabs, piles, and tanks, as well as in-situ construction like balanced cantilevers and segmental bridges. Design must account for losses in prestress over time from shrinkage, creep, and relaxation.
This document provides an introduction to prestressed concrete, including:
1. The basic principles of prestressing concrete by applying compressive stresses that counteract tensile stresses from loads. This allows for smaller member sizes.
2. The main advantages are smaller sections, reduced deflections, increased spans, and improved durability due to reduced cracking.
3. The two main methods are pre-tensioning, where strands are stressed before casting, and post-tensioning, where strands are tensioned after casting through ducts.
4. Uses include precast beams, slabs, piles, tanks, and bridges constructed with either precast or post-tensioned segments.
This document discusses prestressed concrete, which uses steel that is tensioned to put concrete in compression and increase its strength. There are two main types: pre-tensioned concrete, where steel is tensioned before the concrete is poured; and post-tensioned concrete, where steel is tensioned after the concrete has hardened. Post-tensioned concrete can be bonded or unbonded. Prestressed concrete allows for longer spans, thinner sections, and increased strength over traditional reinforced concrete. It has applications in buildings, bridges, parking structures, and other structures.

Experimental Investigation on Steel Concrete Composite Floor SlabIRJET Journal
This document summarizes an experimental investigation on steel-concrete composite floor slabs. Cold-formed steel decking with trapezoidal profiles was used to construct composite floor slabs with concrete. Shear connectors in the form of stud bolts connected the steel decking to the concrete. Three specimens were tested - an RCC slab, a composite slab, and a composite truss. The composite truss was fabricated from steel and connected to the decking and concrete with shear connectors. All specimens were tested for load carrying capacity. The composite truss performed comparably to the RCC slab and was found to effectively transfer loads through composite action between the steel and concrete components.

Paper Title
Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

2. Reinforced Cement Concrete(RCC)
Reinforced Cement Concrete is a combination of
concrete and steel to build a structure instead of
using only concrete.
3. Brief History
François Coignet was a French industrialist of the
nineteenth century, a pioneer in the development of
structural, prefabricated and reinforced concrete.
In 1853 Coignet built the first iron reinforced concrete
structure, a four story house in Paris.
Ernest L. Ransome, was an innovator of the reinforced
concrete techniques in the end of the 19th century
4. Uses of RCC
It is used in the construction of Columns, Beams,
Footings, Slabs etc.
It is used in storage structures like Dams, Water Tanks,
Tunnels etc.
It is used to build heavy structures like Bridges, Walls,
Towers, Under water structures.
It is used in tall structures and sky scrapers.
5. Why it is essential?
High relative strength
High toleration of tensile strain
Good bond to the concrete, irrespective of pH,
moisture, and similar factors
Thermal compatibility, not causing unacceptable
stresses in response to changing temperatures.
Durability in the concrete environment, irrespective of
corrosion or sustained stress for example.
6. Merits of Reinforced Concrete
1. Good Binding Between Steel and Concrete
there is a very good development of bond between steel and concrete.
2. Stable Structure
Concrete is strong in compression but week in tension and steel as
strong in tension so their combination give a strong stable structure.
3. Less Chances of Buckling
Concrete members are not slim like steel members so chances of
buckling are much less.
4. Aesthetics
concrete structures are aesthetically good and cladding is not required
5. Lesser Chances of Rusting
steel reinforcement is enclosed in concrete so chances of
rusting are reduced.

Function of structure is
to transfer all the loads
safely to ground.
A particular structural
member transfers load
to other structural
member.
9. Design Loads
Dead Load
“The loads which do not change their magnitude and
position w.r.t. time within the life of structure”
Dead load mainly consist of superimposed loads and self load of
structure.
Self Load
It is the load of structural member due to its own weight.
Superimposed Load
It is the load supported by a structural member. For
instance self weight of column is self load and load of
beam and slab over it is superimposed load.
3/24/2015 6:24:23 PM 9
10. Design Loads (contd…)
Live Load
“Live loads consist chiefly of occupancy loads in buildings
and traffic loads on bridges”
They may be either fully or partially in place or not
present at all, and may also change in location.
Their magnitude and distribution at any given time are
uncertain, and even their maximum intensities throughout
the life time of the structure are not known with precision.
The minimum live loads for which the floor and roof of a
building should be designed are usually specified in the
building codes that governs at the site construction.
3/24/2015 6:24:23 PM 10
11. Objectives of Designer
There are two main objectives
1. Safety
2. Economy
Safety
The structure should be safe enough to carry all the applied
throughout the life.
Economy
Structures should be economical. Lighter structures are
more economical.
Economy α 1/self weight (More valid for Steel Structures)
In concrete Structures overall cost of construction decides the
economy, not just the self weight.

12. Load Combinations
To combine various loads in such a way to get a critical situation.
Load Factor = Factor by which a load is to be increased x probability
of occurrence
1. 1.2D + 1.6L
2. 1.4D
3. 1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5Lr
4. 1.2D + 1.6Lr + (1.0L or 0.8W)
Where
D = Dead load
L = Live load on intermediate floors
Lr = Live load on roof
W = Wind Load

13. Shrinkage
“Shrinkage is reduction in volume of concrete due to loss
of water”
Coefficient of shrinkage varies with time. Coefficient of shortening is:
0.00025 at 28 days
0.00035 at 3 months
0.0005 at 12 months
Shrinkage = Shrinkage coefficient x Length
Excessive shrinkage can be avoided by proper curing
during first 28 days because half of the total shrinkage
takes place during this period
3/24/2015 6:24:23 PM 13
14. Creep
“creep is the slow
deformation of material
over considerable lengths of
time at constant stress or
load”
Creep deformations for a given
concrete are practically
proportional to the magnitude of
the applied stress; at any given
stress, high strength concrete
show less creep than lower
strength concrete.

Creep (contd…)
How to calculate shortenings due to creep?
Consider a column of 3m which is under sustained load for
several years.
Compressive strength, fc’ = 30 MPa
Sustained stress due to load = 10 MPa
Specific creep for 28 MPa fc’ = 116 x 10-6 per MPa
Creep Strain = 10 x 116 x 10-6 = 116 x 10-5
Shortening due to creep = 3000 x 116 x 10-5
= 3.48 mm
3/24/2015 6:24:23 PM 15
16. Strength measurement
Specified Compressive Strength Concrete, fc’
“28 days cylinder strength of concrete”
The cylinder has 150mm dia and 300mm length.
According to ASTM standards at least two cylinders
should be tested and their average is to be taken.
ACI 5.1.1: for concrete designed and constructed in
accordance with ACI code, fc’ shall not be less than 17 Mpa
(2500 psi)

20. When the earthquake forces exceed the design
parameters, the alternating forces of the earthquake
first break the concrete on one side of the column and
subsequently on the other side.
22. Building A :- has thick and stiff floors and
slender supporting columns.
During a earthquake, the whole building will pancake.
the bottom columns receive the largest forces and
bend; walls crack
Building B :- has a ductile floor design.
During Earthquake, Floors will be waving and
cracking, but the building would not collapse.
25. How to avoid corrosion?
Careful detailing to protect from water
Use stainless steel
Protect steel with galvanizing (zinc coating) or
other protective coating
26. Corrosion of Steel
Every 90 seconds, across the world, one ton
of steel turns to rust; of every two tons of
steel made, one is to replace rust.
27. Most concrete used for construction is a combination of
concrete and reinforcement that is called reinforced
concrete.
Steel is the most common material used as reinforcement,
but other materials such as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)
are also used
Reinforcement in a concrete column
28. REINFORCEMENT USED IN RCC BUILDING
Fiber reinforcement:
Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is concrete with the addition of discrete
reinforcing fibers made of steel, glass, synthetic(nylon, polyester, and
polypropylene), and natural fiber materials.
Synthetic fibers can be delivered to the mixing system in preweighed,
degradable bags that break down during the mixing cycle. Steel fibers are
introduced to the rotating mixer via conveyor belt, either at the same time as
the coarse aggregate or on their own after all the conventional ingredients
have been added.
1. The major applications of FRC are slab-on-grade construction, precast
concrete, and shotcrete.
2. Some examples of slab-on-grade construction are airport runways,
residential, commercial, and industrial floor slabs, and hydraulic
structures
3. Fiber- reinforced shotcrete is used for rock slope stabilization, tunnel
liners, hydraulic structures, and maintenance of existing concrete.
4. FRC is also used in repair applications, such as repair of bridge decks,
piers, and parapets.
29. Steel reinforcement:
Steel reinforcement is available in the form of plain steel bars,
deformed steel bars, cold-drawn wire, welded wire fabric, and
deformed welded wire fabric.
1. Deformed steel bars:—Deformed bars are round steelbars with lugs,
or deformations, rolled into the surface of the bar during
manufacturing
2. Threaded steel bars:—Threaded steel bars are made by several
manufacturers in different grades They are used as an alternative to
lapping standard deformed bars when long bar lengthsare required
3.Welded wire fabric:—Welded wire fabric reinforcement also known as
welded wire reinforcement is a square or rectangular mesh of wires.
Typical deformed reinforcing bar
Welded wire reinforcement sheets
30. TYPES OF CONCRETE
1.Prestressed concrete:
Prestressed concrete is structural concrete in which internal stresses
have been introduced to reduce potential tensile stresses in the
concrete resulting from loads.
Applications
a. To resist internal pressures in circular structures like tank, pipe
b. To limit cracking in bridge decks and slabs-on-grade.
c. To improve capacity of columns and piles.
d. To reduce long-term deflections.
2.Plain concrete:
Plain concrete is structural concrete without reinforcement
It is sometimes used in slabs-on grade ,pavement, basement walls,
small foundations, and curb-and-gutter.
31. 3.Pretensioned concrete:
Pretensioning is usually performed in a factory (or
precasting yard). The tendons are held in place and
tensioned against the ends of the casting bed before the
concrete is placed.
Advantages of pretensioned concrete are that it
tendons are bonded to the concrete over their entire
length.
4.Post-tensioned concrete:
Post-tensioning is usually performed at the job site. Post-
tensioning tendons are usually internal but can be external.
Some of the advantages of post-tensioning are that it does
not require the large temporary anchorages required for
pretensioning,
It allows for larger members than are possible in a
precasting plant.

34. Slabs
It is better to provide a max spacing of 200mm(8”) for
main bars and 250mm(10”) in order to control the
crack width and spacing.
A min. of 0.24% shall be used for the roof slabs since it
is subjected to higher temperature. Variations than the
floor slabs. This is required to take care of temp.
differences.
It is advisable to not to use 6mm bars as main bars as
this size available in the local market is of inferior
not only with respect to size but also the quality since
like TATA and SAIL are not producing this size of bar.
35. Beams
A min. of 0.2% is to be provided for the compression bars
in order to take care of the deflection.
The stirrups shall be minimum size of 8mm in the case of
lateral load resistance .
The hooks shall be bent to 135 degree.

39. Arrangement of reinforcement in various
structural members :
R.C.C. is used as a structural element, the common
structural elements in a building where
R.C.C. is used are:
(a) Footings (b) Columns
(c) Beams and lintels (d) roofs and slabs.
40. 1) Footings :
In rectangular footing the reinforcement parallel to the long
direction shall be distributed uniformly across the width of
the footing. In short direction, since the support provided to
the Footing by the column is concentrated near the middle,
the moment per unit length is largest i.e., the curvature of
the footing is sharpest immediately under the column and
decreases in the long direction with the increasing distance
from the column. For this reason larger steel area is needed
in the central portion and is determined in accordance with
the equation given below.
41. 2) Columns :
The main reinforcement in columns in longitudional
, parallel to the direction to the direction of the load
and consists of bars arranged in square, rectangular or
spherical shape.
Main steel is provided to resist the compression load
along with the concrete.
The bar shall not be less than 12mm in diameter
Nominal max. Size of coarse aggregte is5mm.
The no of bars in columns are varies from 10, 12, 14, 16
with varying diameter.
42. 3) Beams :
Generally a beam consists of following types of
reinforcements :
Longitudinal reinforcement .
Shear reinforcements.
Side face reinforcement in the web of the beam is provided
when the depth of the web in a beam exceeds 750 mm.
Arrangements of bars in a beam should confirm to the
requirements of clause given in 8.1and 8.2of SP34.Bars of
size 6,8,10,12,16,20,25,32,50 mm are available in market.
43. Thickness of the slab is decided based on span to depth ratio . Min
reinforcement is 0.12% for HYSD bars and 0.15% for mild steel bars. The
diameter of bar generally used in slabs are: 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm
and 16 mm.
The maximum diameter of bar used in slab should not exceed 1/8 of the
total thickness of slab. Maximum spacing of main bar is restricted to 3
times effective depth . For distribution bars the maximum spacing is
specified as 5 times the effective depth .
4) Slabs :
44. Minimum clear cover to reinforcements in slab depends
on the durability criteria . Generally 15 mm to 20 mm
cover is provided for the main reinforcements.
Torsion reinforcement shall be provided at any corner
where the slab is simply supported on both edges
meeting at that corner.It shall consist of top and bottom
reinforcement, each with layer of bars placed parallel to
the sides of the slab and extending from the edges a
minimum distance of one fifth of the shorter span.
