3. Introduction -
3
Behaviour of Structure is very similar to behaviour
of Human Body structure
The forces affecting on the behaviour of RC
structure is similar to the forces acting on human
body structure, but with different intensity
Performance of Reinforcement in RC structures
are same as performance of Bones in human
body
Strength to human body structure is provided by
Bones

Purposes of Bone
Provides mechanical support
Produces red blood cells
Protects internal organs
Provides rigid mechanical links and muscle
attachment sites
Facilitates muscle action and body movement
Serves as active ion reservoir for calcium and
phosphorus
5. Composition and Structure of Bone
Consists of cells and an organic extracellular
matrix of fibers and ground substance
High content of inorganic materials (mineral salts
combined with organic matrix)
Organic component flexible and resiliant
Inorganic component hard and rigid
Mineral portion of bone primarily calcium and
phosphate (minerals 65-70% of dry weight)
Bone is reservoir for essential minerals (e.g.,
calcium)

Gravity force
Body forces
Moment when walking, running, jumping
Pulling in (Compression)
Pulling out (Tension)
More than 70% of Bending moments on a
bone are transmitted by muscle force rather
than body weight

Properties of Stiffness and Brittle/Ductile
•Metal – large plastic
region
•Virtually no plastic region
in glass
•Stress-strain curve of
bone not linear
•Yielding of bone tested
in tension caused by
debonding of osteons at
cement lines and micro
fractures

24. Conclusion -
24
Structural behavior of bones in human body is
behave live same exactly as reinforcement
concrete sections and materials
Bone have all mechanical properties same as
materials used in structural elements of building
and it obey the Hook’s Law
Material properties of bone are varies with
respect to age
Repair techniques in RC frame are same as
Human body repair techniques
