This document summarizes the key concepts from a course on concrete design including:
1) Flexural analysis and design of beams including stress distributions, composite beams, stresses in cracked and uncracked concrete beams, and design aids.
2) Ultimate flexural strength determination using Whitney's equivalent rectangular stress block model.
3) ACI strength reduction factors for tension-controlled, compression-controlled, and transition-controlled failures.
4) Minimum reinforcement requirements and example problems for analyzing and designing reinforced concrete beams and slabs.
