ULTIMATE-LOAD DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE

The information presented here is based on an equivalent rectangular stress distribution and on the design recommendations of the 1971 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Code: Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete, ACI 318-71. The equations are presented which are required for the analysis and design of beams (flexure, shear and diagonal tension bond, control of cracking and torsion) and columns. These equations are reduced to direct, simple forms for easy application. Numerous examples are given of the analysis and design of reinforced concrete members, as well as tables and charts which may be used for design purpose. All equations, examples, tables and charts are given in both metric and foot systems. The values could be used for the SI system as well.
