Properties of Concrete

 Compressive Strength
 The uniaxial compressive strength is measured by a
compression test of a standard test cylinder. This test is
used to monitor the concrete strength for quality control or
acceptance purposes.

 The specified compressive strength is measured by

compression tests on 6 by 12 inches cylinders, tested after
28 days of moist curing (testing methods: ASTM Standards
C31 and C39).

Building Codes and the ACI Code

 Introduction
 A code is a set of technical specifications and standards that
controls the important details of design and construction. The
purpose of code is to produce sound structures so that public
will be protected from poor and inadequate design and
construction.

IBC and Euro-code are general building codes.

 Seismic Codes
 Cover only seismic provisions of buildings such as SEAOC

Building Codes and the ACI Code

 The ACI 318 Code

 The American Concrete Institute “Building Code
Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318)”, referred to
as the ACI code, provides minimum requirements for
structural concrete design or construction.

 The term “structural concrete” is used to refer to all plain or

reinforced concrete used for structural purposes.
 Prestressed concrete is included under the definition of
reinforced concrete.

Building Codes and the ACI Code

 Design Loads in the ACI code

 Load (ACI 318-14, 2.0)
 ACI 318-14 code defines load as “forces or other actions that
result from the weight of all building materials, occupants, and
their possessions, environmental effects, differential movement,
and restrained dimensional changes; permanent loads are those
loads in which variations over time are rare or of small
magnitude; all other loads are variable loads”.

 Dead Load (ACI 318-14, 2.0)
 (a) The weights of the members, supported structure, and
permanent attachments or accessories that are likely to be
present on a structure in service; or

 (b) Loads meeting specific criteria found in the general building

code; without load factors.

 Live Load (ACI 318-14, 2.0)
 (a) Load that is not permanently applied to a structure, but is
likely to occur during the service life of the structure (excluding
environmental loads); or

 (b) Loads meeting specific criteria found in the general building

code; without load factors.

Building Codes and the ACI Code

 Design Procedures:
 Working Stress Design approach
 Capacity is reduced by half

 Demand is kept the same

 ACI 318 Design approach: (ACI 318-14, 4.6)

 According to the ACI 318 Code, the RC Members shall be

designed using the strength design method.

 In the strength design method, the loads are amplified and the
capacities are reduced.

Building Codes and the ACI Code

 FOS in ACI Design procedure

 The factor of safety in strength design method is ensured by
amplifying the applied loads on the structure and reducing the
members capacities.

 We know that, Capacity / Demand = FOS; FOS > 1.0

 According to Strength Design Method;

𝜑 Capacity = 𝛾 Demand; where 𝜑 < 1, and 𝛾 >1

Capacity / Demand = 𝛾 / 𝜑

 FOS = 𝛾 / 𝜑

Mechanics of Reinforced Concrete

 Mechanics
 Mechanics is both quantitative and qualitative.
 Qualitative mechanics deals with the nature of the effect of loads
(stresses).

 Quantitative mechanics deals with the formulation obtained using

the established laws, for instance equilibrium.

 Mechanics of Reinforced Concrete

 The formulation of design equations for axial, flexure, shear
