Reinforced concrete design performance and applications

Reinforced concrete design performance and applications – Concrete is one of the most used materials in the construction industry.

In structural systems, the combination of concrete and steel reinforcement bars gives rise to reinforced concrete (RC).

It is widely applied in the civil engineering field due to its adequate mechanical strength, durability, and fire resistance.

Steel-rebar reinforced structures are subjected to structural deterioration when subjected to extreme loadings such as earthquake, fire, impact loadings and cyclic loading.

It reduces the expected life and performance of structures.

To enhance the structural performance, the RC structures are usually retrofitted or strengthened.

Reinforced concrete design performance and applications reviews design, performance and applications of reinforced concrete.

There are 3 methods of design an RCC structure:

Working stress method: This was the traditional method of design. …

Ultimate load method: This method is sometimes also referred to as the Load factor method.

Limit state method

An efficient design of a reinforced concrete structure requires that the materials be economically selected, proportioned and arranged to carry the required loads without developing stresses.
