REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN

The three most common materials from which most structures are built are timber, steel, and reinforced (including prestressed) concrete. Lightweight materials such as aluminum and plastics are also becoming more common in use. Reinforced concrete is unique in that two materials, reinforcing steel and concrete, are used together; thus the principles governing the structural design in reinforced concrete differ in many ways from those involving design in one material. Many structures are built from reinforced concrete: bridges, viaducts, buildings, retaining walls, tunnels, tanks, conduits, and others. This text deals primarily with fundamental principles in the design and investigation of reinforced concrete members subjected to axial force, bending moment, shear, torsion, or combinations of these. Thus, these principles are basically applicable to the design of any type of structure, so long as information is known about the variation of axial force, shear, moment, etc., along the length of each member. Although analysis and design may be treated separately, they are inseparable in practice, especially in the case of reinforced concrete structures, which are usually statically indeterminate. In such cases relative sizes of members are needed in the preliminary analysis that must precede the final design; so the final conciliation between analysis and design is largely a matter of trial, judgement, and experience.
