Introduction
CONCRETE
It is a mixture of sand, gravel, aggregates, and crush rocks held together in a rocklike mass with a paste of
cement and water. Sometimes ADDMIXTURES are added to change certain characteristics of the concrete
such as workability, durability, and time of hardening.

REINFORCED CONCRETE
It is a combination of concrete and steel wherein the steel reinforcement provides the tensile strength lacking
in concrete. Steel reinforcing is also capable of resisting compression forces and is used in columns as well as
in other situation.
Properties of Concrete
A. Compressive strength, f’c or fc’
• It is the capacity of structure or material to withstand pushing forces that are axially directed. It
is the maximum stress a material can sustain under crashing load.
• The compressive strength of concrete is determined by testing to failure a 28-day-old 6 by 12 inch
concrete cylinder (standard size).

B. Static Modulus of Elasticity (Young’s Modulus), Ec
• Ratio of the axial stress to axial strain for a material subjected to uni-axial load

 Normal weight concrete (2300 kg/):

Ec = 4700𝞴 (NSCP 2015, Section 419.2.2.1.b)

Note:
𝞴 = 1.0 (Normal Weight Concrete)
𝞴 = 0.75 (Light Weight Concrete)
Properties of Steel
A. Strength
• Yield strength is the most common property of which the designer will need as it as the basis used
for most for the rules given in design codes.

FLEXURAL ANALYSIS OF BEAMS
• Stage 1: Uncracked Concrete Stage
Ma < Mcr
fb = < fr
Where:
Ma = actual moment
Mcr = Cracking moment
= moment that the beam should experience to subject the cracking along tension side.
fb = bending stress
Ig = gross moment of inertia
fr = modulus of rupture
= corresponding bending stress under cracking moment

Allowable Stresses
• Concrete(f’c):

Flexural Members (Beams, Slab, footings) = 0.45f’c

Compression Members (Column) = 0.25f’c

• Steel (fs):

Flexural Members (Beams, Slab, Footings) = 0.5fy

Compression Members (Column) = 0.4fy
Assumptions

1. Plane section remains plane before and after bending.

2. Concrete stress varies from zero at the neutral axis to a maximum at the
extreme fiber.
3. Concrete do not carry tensile stress. All tensile stress will be carried by the
steel reinforcement.
4. The steel and concrete are perfectly bonded so that no slippage between the
two will occur.

• FOR SINGLY REINFORCED BEAM (SRB):
1. QC = QT

Where:
Q = static moment of area (area*centroid)

2. Determine the cracked moment of inertia

3. Apply the formula for bending stress

Codes for Alternate Design Method (NSCP 2015)
• 429.6.1 Strains vary linearly as the distance from the neutral axis, except for deep flexural
members with overall depth-span ratios greater than 2/5 for continuous spans and 4/5 for
simple spans, a nonlinear distribution of strain shall be considered.
• 429.3.1 Load factors and strength reduction factors shall be taken as unity for members
designed by Alternate Design Method
• 429.6.2 Stress-strain relationship of concrete is a straight line under service loads within
permissible service load stresses.
• 429.6.3 In reinforced concrete members, concrete resists no tension.
• 429.6.4 It shall be permitted to take the modular ratio, n = Es/Ec, as the nearest whole
number (but NOT less than 6). Except for calculations for deflections, value of n for
lightweight concrete shall be assumed to be the same as for normal weight concrete of the
same strength.
• For normal weight concrete, Ec shall be permitted to be taken as Ec = 4700
