A granular material, such as sand, gravel, crushed stone and iron-blast furnace slag, and
when used with a cementing medium forms a hydraulic cement concrete or mortar.

Balanced Design
A design so proportioned that the maximum stresses in concrete (with strain of 0.003) and
steel (with strain of fy/Es) are reached simultaneously once the ultimate load is reached,
causing them to fail simultaneously.

Cementitious materials
Materials with cementing value when used in concrete either by themselves, such as
Portland cement, blended hydraulic cement, or such materials in combination with fly ash,
raw or other calcined natural pozzolans, silica fume, or ground granulated blast-furnace slag.

Concrete
Mixture of water, cement, sand, gravel, crushed rock, or other aggregates.

Dead Load
Loads of constant magnitude that remains in one position.

Extreme Tension Steel

The reinforcement (prestressed or nonprestressed) that is the farthest from the extreme
compression fiber.

Loads that may change in magnitude and position.

Modulus of Elasticity
The ratio of normal stress to corresponding strain for tensile or compressive stresses below
proportional limit of material.

Plain concrete
Structural concrete with no reinforcement or with less reinforcement than the minimum
amount specified for reinforced concrete.

Reinforced concrete
Concrete in which reinforcing bars or other types of reinforcement have been integrated to
improve one or more properties of concrete.

Required Strength
The strength of a member or cross section required to resist factored loads or related internal
moments and forces.

Stress
The intensity of force per unit area.

Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete, fc

The compressive strength of concrete used in design of reinforced concrete members in
MPa.

Under Reinforced Design

A design in which the steel reinforcement is lesser than what is required for balanced design.

Water
Used in mixing concrete that should be clean and free from injurious amounts of oils, acids,
alkalis, salts, organic materials, or other substances that may be deleterious to concrete or
reinforcement.

Concrete Proportion (NSCP Section 405.3)

Proportions of materials for concrete shall be established by:

1. Workability and consistency to permit concrete to be worked readily into form and around
reinforcement under conditions of placement to be employed without segregation or excessive
bleeding.
2. Resistance to special exposures.
3. Conformance with strength test requirement.

Basic Components of Concrete

The basic components of concrete are cement, water and aggregates (sand and gravel). Cement and
water form a paste that fills the space between the aggregates and binds them together. Chapter 3 of
the ACI Code and Section 403 of Nationals Structural Code of the Philippines (2010) contains the
minimum requirements for these components and other materials that are commonly used in
concrete.

Cementitious Materials

Cement shall conform to one of the following specifications:

Specifications for Portland Cement (ASTM C150-05)

Specifications for Blended Hydraulic Cements (ASTM C595-07)
Specifications for Expansive Hydraulic Cements (ASTM C845-04)
Specifications for Hydraulic Cements (ASTM C1157-03)

Fly ash and natural pozzolans (ASTM C618-05)
Groundgranulated blast-furnace slag (ASTM C989-06)
Silica fume (ASTM C1240-05)
The eight different types of Portland cement referenced in ASTM C150 and their typical applications
are summarized below.

Cement Type Application

Type I normal General purpose cement commonly used in all types of structures
Type IA normal, air-entraining Used in the same structures as Type I where air entrainment is desired
Type II moderate sulfate resistance General purpose cement used in structures where protection against moderate
sulfate attack is important or where moderate heat of hydration is desired.
Type IIA moderate sulfate Used in the same structures as Type II where air entrainment is desired
resistance, air-entraining
Type III high early strength Used in structures where high early strength of the concrete is desired or where
structures must be put into service quickly
Type IIIA high early strength, air- Used in the same structures as Type III where air entrainment is desired
entraining
Type IV low heat of hydration Used in structures where a low heat of hydration is required, such as massive
concrete structures like dams
Type V high sulfate resistance Used in structures where high sulfate resistance is required, such as elements in
direct contact with soils or ground waters that have high sulfate content

Aggregates
Concrete aggregates shall conform to one of the following specifications:

Standard Specification for Concrete Aggregates (ASTM C33-03) Normal-weight

Standard Specification for Lightweight Aggregates for Structural Concrete (ASTM C330-05)

The nominal maximum size of coarse aggregate shall not be larger than:
1. One fifth (1/5) the narrowest dimension between sides of forms; or
2. One third (1/3) the depth of slab; or
3. Three fourths (3/4) the minimum clear spacing between individual reinforcing bars or wires,
bundles of bars, or prestressing tendons or ducts.

Water
In general, water that is drinkable can usually be used for making concrete. Acceptance criteria for
water used as mixing water in concrete can be found in ASTM C94/C94M-06, Standard Specification
for Ready-mixed Concrete and ASTM C1602/C1602M-06, Standard Specification for Mixing Water
Used in Production of Hydraulic Cement Concrete.
NSCP C101-10 states that water used in mixing concrete shall be clean and free from injurious
amount of oils, acids, alkalis, salts, organic materials or other substances deleterious to concrete or
reinforcement.

Admixtures
Admixtures are ingredients other than cement, aggregates, and water that are added to concrete mix
immediately before or during mixing. Reducing the cost of concrete construction, economically

3
 Structural
My Notes
Engineers Design of Concrete Structure
achieving desired properties in concrete, and maintaining the quality of concrete during mixing,
transporting, placing, and curing are a few reasons why admixtures are used in concrete.
The following are brief descriptions of some common admixtures:
Air-entraining admixtures. These admixtures purposely introduce microscopic air bubbles in
concrete to improve its durability when exposed to repeated freeze-thaw cycles. They also
increase resistance to scaling due to exposure to deicing chemicals and improve the
workability of fresh concrete.
Superplasticizers. These high-range water reducers that can greatly reduce water demand
and cement content without sacrificing workability. Using a water reducer can also lead to
accelerated strength development of the concrete; this permits formworks to be reduced
earlier and, thus, reduced overall construction time.
Corrosion inhibitors. These are usually in parking structures, marine structures, and other
structures exposed to chlorides, which can cause corrosion of steel reinforcement in
concrete.

Concrete Testing
Slump Test standard method in determining the relative consistency of concrete.
Procedure in conducting Slump Test:
1. A standard slump cone is filled in three layers, rodding each layer 25 times.
2. The concrete is smoothed off at the top of the cone.
3. The cone is then lifted vertically, permitting the concrete to slump downward.
4. Measure the distance between the original and final surface of the concrete (slump).

Recommended Slump for Various Types of Construction

Fundamental Assumptions for Reinforced Concrete Behavior:

Design the determination of general shape and all specific dimensions of a particular structure so
that it will perform the function for which it is created and will safely withstand the influences
that will act on it throughout its useful life.

1. The internal forces, such as bending moments, shear forces, and normal and shear stresses, at
any section of a member are in equilibrium with the effects of the external loads at that section.
2. The strain in an embedded reinforcing bar is the same as that of surrounding concrete.
3. Cross sections that were plane prior to loading continue to be plane in the member under load.
4. Concrete is assumed not capable of resisting any tension stress.
5. The theory is based on the actual-stress-strain relationship and strength properties of the two
constituent materials

8

My Notes

Assumptions in Strength Design in Flexure:
1. Strain in reinforcement and concrete shall be assumed directly proportional to the distance from
the neutral axis.
2. Maximum usable strain at extreme concrete compression fiber, c shall be assumed equal to
0.003.
3. For fs below fy, fs shall be taken as Es x s. For fs > fy, fs = fy.
4. Tensile strength of concrete shall be neglected in axial and flexural calculations.
5. Relationship between compressive stress distribution and concrete strain may be assumed
rectangular, trapezoidal, parabolic, or any other form that results in prediction of strength in
substantial agreement with results of compressive tests.
6. For rectangular distribution of stress;
a. Concrete stress of 0.85fc shall be assumed uniformly distributed over an equivalent
compression zone bounded by an edges of the cross-section and a straight line located
parallel to the neutral axis at a distance of a = 1c from the fiber of maximum compressive
strain.
b. Distance c from the fiber of maximum strain to the neutral axis shall be measured in the
direction perpendicular to neutral axis (N.A.).
c. Factor 1 shall be taken as 0.85 for concrete strengths fc for 17 MPa up to 28 MPa. For
strength above 28 MPa, 1 shall be reduced linearly at a rate of 0.05 for each 7 MPa of
strength in excess of 28 MPa, but 1 shall not be less than 0.65
1 = 0.85 for fc = 17 to 28 MPa
1 = 0.85 0.05(fc-28)/7 for fc > 28 MPa
= 0.85 0.007(fc 28)
But not less than 0.65.

Check for steel stresses, fs1 and fs2:

520289.9
fs1 = 600 = 600 = 476.2 MPa > 414 MPa steel yields
c 289.9

60 52060289.9
fs2 = 600 = 600 = 269.3 MPa < 414 MPa steel does not yield
c 289.9
Assumption is correct.

For fs1 = 476.2 MPa, = 0.0024
