CE3060: Basic Reinforced Concrete Design

This document provides an introduction to the course CE3060: Basic Reinforced Concrete Design. It discusses the basic components and properties of concrete, including cement, aggregates, water, and admixtures. It also describes reinforcement techniques for beams, columns, slabs, and walls. Reinforcement includes rebar, welded wire fabric, and prestressing cables. Formwork installation is discussed for casting concrete walls. Different structural systems for slabs and floors are also introduced, including one-way slabs and beams, two-way flat slabs, and waffle slabs.

Concrete
Rocklike Material
Ingredients

Portland Cement
Course Aggregate
Fine Aggregate
Water
Admixtures (optional)

Concrete Properties

Versatile

Pliable when mixed

Strong & Durable

Does not Rust or Rot

Does Not Need a Coating

Resists Fire

Ready Mix Concrete

Transit Mix Truck


(Ready-

Placement Today - Direct


From the Transit Mixer, or

Mixing at Site

Improperly consolidated Concrete

Cement

Workability is the ability of a fresh (plastic)


concrete mix to fill the form/mold properly with
the desired work (vibration) and without
reducing the concrete's quality.

Sample collected

Cone Removed and Concrete


Allowed to Slump

Slump Cone Filled

Slump Measured

Mineral Additives

A pozzolan is a siliceous or siliceous and


aluminous material which, in itself, possesses
little or no cementitious value but which will, in
finely divided form and in the presence of water,
react chemically with calcium hydroxide at
ordinary temperature to form compounds
possessing cementitious properties (ASTM C618).

Aggregates

Water

Reinforcing Stirrups

Position Beam Reinforcing


Resist Diagonal Forces / Resist Cracking

Reinforcing a Continuous Concrete


Beam

Most Beams are not simple span beams


Location of Tension Forces Changes
Midspan - Bottom in Tension
At Beam Supports - Top in Tension

Reinforcing Concrete
Columns

Vertical Bars
Carry Compressive &
Tension Loads
Bar Configuration Multi-story
Ties - Small bars
- Wrapped around the vertical bars
- Help prevent buckling
- Circular or Rectangular
- Column Ties or
- Column Spirals
Installation

Welded Wire Fabric (WWF)

Type of Reinforcing
Grid of wires spaced 2-12 inches apart
Specified by wire gauge and spacing
Typical Use - Horizontal Surfaces
Comes in Mats or Rolls
Advantage - Labor Savings

Prestressing
Theory: Place all the concrete of the member in compression
(take advantage of concretes compressive strength of the
entire member)

Advantages:
- Increase the load carrying
capacity
- Increase span length, or
- Reduce the members size

Prestressing Pretensioning

Pretensioning
Prior to concrete placement
Generally performed

at a plant - WHY???

Prestressing Posttensioning

Cables positioned prior to concrete placement


Stressed after concrete placement (& curing)
Generally performed
at the jobsite

Large Conduits for Placement of


Post Tensioning Cables on a Bridge
