2. REINFORCED CONCRETE
Introduction
Reinforced concrete is a composite material, consisting of steel
reinforcing bars embedded in concrete. Concrete has high
compressive strength but low tensile strength. Steel bars can resist
high tensile stresses but will buckle when subjected to
high tensile stresses but will buckle when subjected to
comparatively low compressive stresses. Steel bars are used in the
zones within a concrete member which will be subjected to tensile
stresses. Reinforced concrete is an economical structural material
which is both strong in compression and in tension. Concrete
provides corrosion protection and fire resistance to the steel bars.
3. During the course of this Training, we will be looking at the
following :
Limit State Design
Limit State Design
Design of Reinforced Concrete Beam
Design of Reinforced Concrete Slab
Design of Reinforced Concrete Column
4. This Course is designed to enhance participants knowledge
of structural design of reinforced concrete structures in line
with applicable code of practise.
Learning Objectives
5. At the End of this Course, Participants should be able :
Estimate the load on any given structural member.
Learning Outcomes
Analyse the member for shear force and bending moments.
Design for shear and moment reinforcements.
Carry out serviceability checks.
