REINFORCEMENT
acts together with concrete
in resisting load
Resists both tensile and compressive stresses ten times
stronger than concrete
COMPRESSION
ten times stronger than concrete in resisting
compression load
TENSION
hundred times stronger in resisting tensile stresses
Following problems has to be anticipated in estimating the
quantity of steel reinforcements:
1. Length for hook, bend, or lapping joints are often overlooked.
2. Other structural member should be treated separately and carefully
a. lateral ties
b. stirrups
c. spirals
d. dowels
e. cut bars
3. How to select bars to be ordered avoiding extra cuts
4. Tie wire should be to the minimum required
STEEL REINFORCEMENT GRADE AND USES
a = shortest side
b = longest side
Six concrete beams with a cross sectional dimension of .30 x .40 m. has a uniform
clear span of 4.50 m. specify the use of 6 mm. x 1.2 x 2.4 plywood forms on a 2 x 2
wood frame.
