Constituents
1 Concrete is a mixture of Portland cement, water, and aggregates (usually sand and crushed
stone).
Portland cement is a mixture of calcareous and argillaceous materials which are calcined in
a kiln and then pulverized. When mixed with water, cement hardens through a process called
hydration.
2
Ideal mixture is one in which:

1. A minimum amount of cement-water paste is used to fill the interstices between the
particles of aggregates.
2. A minimum amount of water is provided to complete the chemical reaction with cement.
Strictly speaking, a water/cement ratio of about 0.25 is needed to complete this reaction,
but then the concrete will have a very low workability.
In such a mixture, about 3/4 of the volume is constituted by the aggregates, and the remaining
1/4 being the cement paste.
Smaller particles up to 1/4 in. in size are called fine aggregates, and the larger ones being
coarse aggregates.
Portland Cement has the following ASTM designation

I Normal
II Moderate sulfate resistant, moderate heat of hydration
III High early strength (but releases too much heat)

6 Aggregate usually occupy 70% to 80% of the volume of concrete. They are granular material
derived, for the most part, from natural rock, crushed stone, natural gravels and sands.
ASTM C33 (Standard Specifications for Concrete Aggregates) governs the types of rock which
can produce aggregates.
7
The shape can be rounded, irregular, angular, flaky, or elongated.
The surface texture can be glassy, smooth, granular, rough, crystalline or honeycombed.
The particle size distribution or grading of aggregates is very important as it determines

the amount of paste for a workable concrete, Fig. 1.1. Since cement is the most expensive
component, proper gradation is of paramount importance.
10
The grading of an aggregate supply is determined by a sieve analysis. A representative

sample of the aggregate is passed through a stack of sieves aranged in order of decreasing size
opening of the sieve.
11
12
We divide aggregates in two categories
Coarse aggregate fraction is that retained on the No. 4 sieve, Table 1.1.
Fine aggregate fraction is that passing the No. 4 sieve.
13
ASTM C33 sets grading limits for coarse and fine aggregates, Table 1.2 and 1.3 respectively.
If a concrete does not comply with these limits, than there will be a need for more paste,
and there will be the possibility of aggregate segregation.
14
15 Since aggregates contain some porosity, water can be absorbed. Also water can be retained
on the surface of the particle as a film or moisture. Hence, it is necessary to quantify the
moisture content of the aggregates in order to make adjustments to the water. Because dry
aggregates will remove water from the paste, then the w/c is effectively reduced. On the other
hand moist aggregates may effectively increase the w/c ratio.

INTRODUCTION
Moisture states are defined as
Oven-dry (OD): all moisture is removed from the aggregate.

Air-dry (AD): all moisture is removed from the surface, but internal pores are partially full.
Saturated-surface-dry (SSD): All pores are filled with water, but no film of water on the
surface.
Wet: All pores are completely filled with a film of water on the surface.
17
Based on the above, we can determine
Absorption capacity (AC): is the maximum amount of water the aggregate can absorb
AC =
WSSD WOD
100%
WOD
(1.1)
most normal -weight aggregates (fine and coarse) have an absorption capacity in the range
of 1% to 2%.
Surface Moisture (SM): is the water in excess of the SSD state

The fineness modulus is a parameter which describe the grading curve and it can be used
to check the uniformity of the grading. It is usually computed for fine aggregates on the basis
of

3/8 in, 3/4 in, 11/2 in and larger.
18
The fineness modulus for fine aggregate should lie between 2.3 and 3.1 A small number
indicates a fine grading, whereas a large number indicates a coarse material.
19
20
Table 1.4 illustrates the determination of the fineness modulus.
21 Fineness modulus of fine aggregate is required for mix proportioning since sand gradation
has the largest effect on workability. A fine sand (low fineness modulus) has much higher paste
requirements for good workability.
22
The fineness modulus of coarse aggregate is not used for mix design purposes.
no-fines concrete has little cohesiveness in the fresh state and can not be compacted to a
void-free condition. Hence, it will have a low strength, high permeability. Its only advantage is
low density, and high thermal insulation which can be used if structural requirements are not
high.

Preliminary Considerations
There are two fundamental aspects to mix design to keep in mind:
1. Water/Cement ratio: where the strength is inversely proportional to the water to cement
ratio, approximately expressed as:
fc0 =
A
B 1.5w/c
(1.4)
For fc0 in psi, A is usually taken as 14,000 and B depends on the type of cement, but may
be taken to be about 4. It should be noted that w/c controls not only the strength, but
also the porosity and hence the durability.
2. Aggregate Grading: In order to minimize the amount of cement paste, we must maximize
the volume of aggregates. This can be achieved through proper packing of the granular
material. The ideal grading curve (with minimum voids) is closely approximated by
the Fuller curve
q
d
(1.5)
Pt =
D
where Pt is the fraction of total solids finer than size d, and D is the maximum particle
size, q is generally taken as 1/2, hence the parabolic grading.
1.1.1.1.3
Mix procedure
Before starting the mix design process, the following material properties should be determined:

2. Maximum aggregate size: in general the largest possible size should be adopted.
However, it should be noted that:
(a) For reinforced concrete, the maximum size may not exceed one-fifth of the minimum dimensions between the forms, or three-fourths of the minimum clear spacing
between bars, or between steel and forms.
(b) For slabs on grade, the maximum size may not exceed one-third the slab depth.
In general maximum aggregate size is 3/4 in or 1 in.
3. Water and Air content Air content will affect workability (some time it is better to
increase air content rather than increasing w/c which will decrease strength). Air content
can be increased through the addition of admixtures. Table 1.6 tabulates recommended
values of air content (obtained through such admixtures) for different conditions (for
instance under severe freezing/thawing air content should be high).
Recommended water requirements are given by Table 1.7.

The slump test (ASTM C143) is a measure of the shear resistance of concrete to flowing under its own weight.
It is a good indicator of the concrete workability. A hollow mold in the form of a frustum of a cone is filled
with concrete in three layers of equal volume. Each layer is rodded 25 times. The mold is then lifted vertically,
and the slump is measured by determining the difference between the height of the mold and the height of the
concrete over the original center of the base of the specimen.

Table 1.8: Relationship Between Water/Cement Ratio and Compressive Strength

For durability, if there is a severe exposure (freeze/thaw, exposure to sea-water, sulfates),
then there are severe restrictions on the W/C ratio (usually to be kept just under 0.5)
5. Cement Content: Once the water content and the w/c ratio are determined, the amount
of cement per unit volume of concrete is determined simply by dividing the estimated
water requirement by the w/c ratio.
6. Coarse Aggregate Content: Volume of coarse aggregate required per cubic yard of
concrete depends on its maximum size and the fineness modulus of the fine aggregate,
Table 1.9. The oven dry (OD) volume of coarse aggregate in ft3 required per cubic yard
is simply equal to the value from Table 1.9 multiplied by 27. This volume can then be
converted to an OD weight by multiplying it by the dry-rodded2 weight per cubic foot of
coarse aggregate.
7. The fine aggregate content can be estimated by subtracting the volume of cement,
water, air and coarse aggregate from the total volume. The weight of the fine aggregate
can then be obtained by multiplying this volume by the density of the fine aggregate.

Dry Rodded Volume (DRV) is the normal volume of space a material occupies.

8. Adjustment for moisture in the aggregates: is necessary. If aggregates are air
dry, they will absorb some water (thus effectively lowering the w/c), or if aggregates are
too wet they will release water (increasing the w/c and the workability but reducing the
strength).
1.1.1.1.4
Mix Design Example
Concrete is required for an exterior column to be located above ground in an area where
substantial freezing and thawing may occur. The concrete is required to have an average 28day compressive strength of 5,000 psi. For the conditions of placement, the slump should be
between 1 and 2 in, the maximum aggregate size should not exceed 3/4 in. and the properties
of the materials are as follows:
Cement: Type I specific gravity = 3.15
Coarse Aggregates: Bulk specific gravity (SSD) = 2.70; absorption capacity= 1.0%; Total
moisture content = 2.5%; Dry-rodded unit weight = 100 lb/ft3
Fine Aggregates: Bulk specific gravity (SSD) = 2.65; absorption capacity = 1.3 %; Total
moisture content=5.5%; fineness modulus = 2.70
The sieve analyses of both the coarse and fine aggregates fall within the specified limits. With
this information, the mix design can proceed:
1. Choice of slump is consistent with Table 1.5.
2. Maximum aggregate size (3/4 in) is governed by reinforcing details.
3. Estimation of mixing water: Because water will be exposed to freeze and thaw, it must
be air-entrained. From Table 1.6 the air content recommended for extreme exposure is
6.0%, and from Table 1.7 the water requirement is 280 lb/yd3
4. From Table 1.8, the water to cement ratio estimate is 0.4
5. Cement content, based on steps 4 and 5 is 280/0.4=700 lb/yd3
6. Coarse aggregate content, interpolating from Table 1.9 for the fineness modulus of
the fine aggregate of 2.70, the volume of dry-rodded coarse aggregate per unit volume of
concrete is 0.63. Therefore, the coarse aggregate will occupy 0.63 27 = 17.01 ft3 /yd3 .

19
The OD weight of the coarse aggregate is 17.01 ft3 /yd3 , 100 lbs/ft3 =1,701 lb. The SSD
weight is 1,701 1.01=1,718 lb.
7. Fine aggregate content Knowing the weights and specific gravities of the water, cement,
and coarse aggregate, and knowing the air volume, we can calculate the volume per yd3
occupied by the different ingredients.

Hence, the fine aggregate must occupy a volume of 27.0 19.87 = 7.13 ft3 . The required
SSD weight of the fine aggregate is 7.13 ft3 (2.65)(62.4)lb/ft3 =1,179 lbs lb.
8. Adjustment for moisture in the aggregate. Since the aggregate will be neither SSD or
OD in the field, it is necessary to adjust the aggregate weights for the amount of water
contained in the aggregate. Only surface water need be considered; absorbed water does
not become part of the mix water. For the given moisture contents, the adjusted aggregate weights become:
Coarse aggregate (wet)=1,718(1.025-0.01) = 1,744 lb/yd3 of dry coarse
Fine aggregate (wet)=1,179(1.055-0.013) = 1,229 lb/yd3 of dry fine
Surface moisture contributed by the coarse aggregate is 2.5-1.0 = 1.5%; by the fine aggregate: 5.5-1.3 = 4.2%; Hence we need to decrease water to
280-1,718(0.015)-1,179(0.042) = 205 lb/yd3 .
Thus, the estimated batch weight per yd3 are

Reinforcing Steel
Steel is used as reinforcing bars in concrete, Table 1.11.
43 Bars have a deformation on their surface to increase the bond with concrete, and usually
have a yield stress of 60 ksi.
44
Maximum allowable fy is 80 ksi.
45 Stirrups, used as vertical reinforcement to resist shear, usually have a yield stress of only 40
ksi
Steel loses its strength rapidly above 700 deg. F (and thus must be properly protected from
fire), and becomes brittle at 30 deg. F
46
47
Prestressing Steel cables have an ultimate strength up to 270 ksi.

Welded wire fabric is often used to reinforce slabs and shells. It has both longitudinal and
transverse cold-drawn steel. They are designated by AAW B B, such as 66W 1.41.4
where spacing of the wire is 6 inch, and a cross section of 0.014 in2 .

3. 0.9D+1.3W

52 Serviceability Limit States must be assessed under service loads (not factored). The
most important ones being
1. Deflections
2. Crack width (for R/C)
3. Stability

53
Analysis vs Design
In R/C we always consider one of the following problems:
Analysis: Given a certain design, determine what is the maximum moment which can be
applied.
Design: Given an external moment to be resisted, determine cross sectional dimensions (b and
h) as well as reinforcement (As ). Note that in many cases the external dimensions of the
beam (b and h) are fixed by the architect.
54
We often consider the maximum moment along a member, and design accordingly.

INTRODUCTION
Basic Relations and Assumptions
In developing a design/analysis method for reinforced concrete, the following basic relations
will be used:
55
1. Equilibrium: of forces and moment at the cross section. 1) Fx = 0 or Tension in the

reinforcement = Compression in concrete; and 2) M = 0 or external moment (that is the
one obtained from the moment envelope) equal and opposite to the internal one (tension
in steel and compression of the concrete).
2. Material Stress Strain: We recall that all normal strength concrete have a failure strain
u = .003 in compression irrespective of fc0 .
56
Basic assumptions used:
Compatibility of Displacements: Perfect bond between steel and concrete (no slip). Note
that those two materials do also have very close coefficients of thermal expansion under
normal temperature.
Plane section remain plane strain is proportional to distance from neutral axis.
Neglect tensile strength in all cases.

ACI Code
Attached is an unauthorized copy of some of the most relevant ACI-318-89 design code provisions.
8.1.1 - In design of reinforced concrete structures, members shall be proportioned for adequate strength in accordance with provisions of this code, using load factors and strength
reduction factors specified in Chapter 9.
8.3.1 - All members of frames or continuous construction shall be designed for the maximum
effects of factored loads as determined by the theory of elastic analysis, except as modified
according to Section 8.4. Simplifying assumptions of Section 8.6 through p
8.9 may be used.
8.5.1 - Modulus of elasticity Ec for concrete may be taken as Wc1.5 33 fc0 ( psi) for values
between 90 and 155 lb per cu ft. For normal weight concrete, Ec may be taken as
of Wc p
57, 000 fc0 .
8.5.2 - Modulus of elasticity Es for non-prestressed reinforcement may be taken as 29,000
psi.
9.1.1 - Structures and structural members shall be designed to have design strengths at all
sections at least equal to the required strengths calculated for the factored loads and forces in
such combinations as are stipulated in this code.
9.2 - Required Strength
9.2.1 - Required strength U to resist dead load D and live load L shall be at least equal to
U = 1.4D + 1.7L
(1.16)
9.2.2 - If resistance to structural effects of a specified wind load W are included in design,
the following combinations of D, L, and W shall be investigated to determine the greatest
required strength U
U = 0.75(1.4D + 1.7L + 1.7W )
(1.17)
Victor Saouma
Draft
1.5 ACI Code
117
where load combinations shall include both full value and zero value of L to determine the more
severe condition, and
U = 0.9D + 1.3W
(1.18)
but for any combination of D, L, and W, required strength U shall not be less than Eq. (9-1).
9.3.1 - Design strength provided by a member, its connections to other members, and its
cross sections, in terms of flexure, axial load, shear, and torsion, shall be taken as the nominal
strength calculated in accordance with requirements and assumptions of this code, multiplied
by a strength reduction factor .
9.3.2 - Strength reduction factor shall be as follows:
9.3.2.1 - Flexure, without axial load 0.90
9.4 - Design strength for reinforcement Designs shall not be based on a yield strength of
reinforcement fy in excess of 80,000 psi, except for prestressing tendons.
10.2.2 - Strain in reinforcement and concrete shall be assumed directly proportional to
the distance from the neutral axis, except, for deep flexural members with overall depth to
clear span ratios greater than 2/5 for continuous spans and 4/5 for simple spans, a non-linear
distribution of strain shall be considered. See Section 10.7.
10.2.3 - Maximum usable strain at extreme concrete compression fiber shall be assumed
equal to 0.003.
10.2.4 - Stress in reinforcement below specified yield strength fy for grade of reinforcement
used shall be taken as Es times steel strain. For strains greater than that corresponding to fy ,
stress in reinforcement shall be considered independent of strain and equal to fy .
10.2.5 - Tensile strength of concrete shall be neglected in flexural calculations of reinforced
concrete, except when meeting requirements of Section 18.4.
10.2.6 - Relationship between concrete compressive stress distribution and concrete strain
may be assumed to be rectangular, trapezoidal, parabolic, or any other shape that results in
prediction of strength in substantial agreement with results of comprehensive tests.
10.2.7 - Requirements of Section 10.2.5 may be considered satisfied by an equivalent rectangular concrete stress distribution defined by the following:
10.2.7.1 - Concrete stress of 0.85fc0 shall be assumed uniformly distributed over an equivalent compression zone bounded by edges of the cross section and a straight line located parallel
to the neutral axis at a distance (a = 1 c) from the fiber of maximum compressive strain.
10.2.7.2 - Distance c from fiber of maximum strain to the neutral axis shall be measured
in a direction perpendicular to that axis.
10.2.7.3 - Factor 1 shall be taken as 0.85 for concrete strengths fc0 up to and including
4,000 psi. For strengths above 4,000 psi, 1 shall be reduced continuously at a rate of 0.05 for
each 1000 psi of strength in excess of 4,000 psi, but 1 shall not be taken less than 0.65.
10.3.2 - Balanced strain conditions exist at a cross section when tension reinforcement
reaches the strain corresponding to its specified yield strength fy just as concrete in compression
reaches its assumed ultimate strain of 0.003.
10.3.3 - For flexural members, and for members subject to combined flexure and compressive axial load when the design axial load strength (Pn ) is less than the smaller of (0.10fc0 Ag )
or (Pb ), the ratio of reinforcement p provided shall not exceed 0.75 of the ratio b that would
produce balanced strain conditions for the section under flexure without axial load. For members with compression reinforcement, the portion of b equalized by compression reinforcement
need not be reduced by the 0.75 factor.
10.3.4 - Compression reinforcement in conjunction with additional tension reinforcement
may be used to increase the strength of flexural members.

18 At failure we have, linear cross strain distribution (ACI 10.2.2) (except for deep beams),
non-linear stress strain curve for the concrete, thus a non-linear stress distribution.
19
Two options:
1. Analytical expression of exact integration
2. Replace exact stress diagram with a simpler and equivalent one, (ACI 10.2.6)
Second approach adopted by most codes.

20 For the equivalent stress distribution, all we need to know is C & its location, thus and .
We adopt a rectangular stress, with depth a = 1 c, and stress equal to fc0 (ACI 10.2.7.1)

2.4 Practical Design Considerations
2.4.2
35
213
Beam Sizes, Bar Spacing, Concrete Cover
Beam sizes should be dimensioned as

1. Use whole inches for overall dimensions, except for slabs use
1
2
inch increment.
2. Ideally, the overall depth to width ratio should be between 1.5 to 2.0 (most economical).
3. For T beams, flange thickness should be about 20% of overall depth.
36
Reinforcing bars
1. Minimum spacing between bars, and minimum covers are needed to
(a) Prevent Honeycombing of concrete (air pockets)
(b) Concrete (usually up to 3/4 in MSA) must pass through the reinforcement
(c) Protect reinforcement against corrosion and fire
2. Use at least 2 bars for flexural reinforcement
3. Use bars #11 or smaller for beams.
4. Use no more than two bar sizes and no more than 2 standard sizes apart (i.e #7 and #9
acceptable; #7 and #8 or #7 and #10 not).
5. Use no more than 5 or 6 bars in one layer.
6. Place longest bars in the layer nearest to face of beam.
7. Clear distance between parallel bars not less that db (to avoid splitting cracks) nor 1 in.
(to allow concrete to pass through).
8. Clear distance between longitudinal bars in columns not less that 1.5db or 1.5 in.
9. Minimum cover of 1.5 in.
10. Summaries in Fig. 2.7 and Table 2.1, 2.2.

37
Design Aids
Basic equations developed in this section can be easily graphed.
Review Given b d and known steel ratio and material strength, Mn can be readily obtained
from Mn = Rbd2
Design in this case
Set Md = Rbd2
From tabulated values, select max and min often 0.5b is a good economical choice.
Select R from tabulated values of R in terms of fy , fc0 and . Solve for bd2 .
Select b and d to meet requirements. Usually depth is about 2 to 3 times the width.
Using tabulated values select the size and number of bars giving preference to larger
bar sizes to reduce placement cost (careful about crack width!).
6. Check from tables that the selected beam width will provide room for the bars chosen
with adequate cover and spacing.

Negative steel reinforcement is needed to

1. Increase internal moment resistance capacity (not very efficient)
2. Support stirrups
3. Reverse moments (moving load)
4. Provide ductility (earthquake)
5. Reduce creep (long term deflections)

Moment-Curvature Relations
In ordinary reinforced concrete design, we need not be concerned by the moment curvature relation of a flexural member. Yet this relation is important to properly understand (in
subsequent chapters)

1. Redistribution of moments (reducing negative moments, increasing positive ones).

2. Short and long term deflections with the shifting of the neutral axis under service load.

seismic excitation, and thus absorbs enough energy.

shear. However once the crack has occurred a shear transfer mechanism must be provided for,

then reinforcement across it will resist relative displacement along the crack.

need to model the entire structure. We can use
ACI Approximate equations
Exact (Moment distribution, computer)
Lateral laod: WL, EL. This requires the analysis of a 2D or 3D frame. Two approaches:

48
CONTINUOUS BEAMS
1. Use ACI approximate equations for the design of the slab. Then, there is no need to worry
about optimal placement of load to maximize positive or negative moments, or moment
redistribution.
2. Once the slab is designed, use exact method for beams, girders. Reduce negative moments.
3. Tabulate maximum +ve and -ve moments for each beam.
4. Determine the column loads, tabulate.
5. Can use approximate or exact method of analysis for frames. Tabulate results.
6. Add maximum positive and negative moments due to vertical and lateral loads.
7. Design accordingly.

4. Slab thickness t is usually assumed, and we design reinforcement. ACI 9.5.2.1 recommended minimum thickness of beams/slabs are given by Table 5.1. where L is in inches,
and members are not supporting partitions. If a slab is so dimensioned
(a) Deflection need not be checked
(b) Usually, neither flexure, nor shear controls
5. In reinforcement design, a good initial guess for
a
d
is 0.15.
6. Slab thickness are rounded to the neares 1/4 inch for slabs less than 6 inch, and 1/2 for
thicker ones.
7. ACI Sect. 7.7.1 gives minimum cover for corrosion control
(a) Concrete not exposed to weather or in contact with ground, No. 11 or smaller 3/4
inch.
(b) Concrete exposed to weather or in contact with ground:
i. No. 5 bars and smaller, 1.5 inch.
ii. No. 6 and larger, 2. inch.
8. Transverse reinforcement (shrinkage, temperature) must be provided

9. Shear does not usually control & no minimum reinforcement is needed (vc = 2 fc0 )
10. Principal reinforcement shall not be spaced at more than 3 times the slab thickness nor
18 in (ACI 7.6.5).
11. Usually No. 4 and larger bars are used for flexural reinforcement, as No. 3 may be
bent out of position by workers walking on it. This is more critical for top than bottom
reinforcement.
12. Sometimes, No.3 is used for bottom, and No. 4 for top.
13. Shrinkage/temperature reinforcement shall not be spaced at more than 5 times the slab
thickness nor 18 in (ACI 7.12.2.2).

Design of a One Way Continuous Slab
Design an 8 span floor slab. Each span is 15 ft long, fc0 = 3, 750 psi, fy = 60 ksi, wl =100 psf,
floor cover is 0.5 psf, mechanical equipment 4 psf, and ceiling 2 psf. Interior supporting beams
have a width of 14 inch, and exterior ones 16 inches. First span is measured from exterior of
exterior beam to center of first interior beam.

Shrinkage and Temperature Reinforcement must be provided perpendicular to the span

of the slab
As = 0.0018bh = 0.0018(12)(7.25) = 0.157 in2 /f t
(5.12)
and maximum spacing is 18 in. Therefore, we can provide # 4 bars at 15 in. as shrinkage
and temperature reinforcement. They should be placed on top of the lower layer of steel.
Note that in this problem a 6.5 in. thickness was acceptablee for the six interior spans, but a
7.25 in. thickness was required for the end spans.
If the entire floor were made of 6. in. thick slab instead of 7.25 in. about 45 cubic yards of
concrete could have been saved (for a total floor width of about 90 ft) per flor or 180 kips of
dead load per floor. This would represent a considerable saving in say a 20 story building.
In this case, it would be advisable to use 6., and check for delfections in the end spans.

SERVICEABILITY
So far we have focused on the ultimate structural behaviour (failure), Vu & Mu , i.e the strength
of a member.
2 It is important to also control the behaviour of structural elements under service load (unfactored)
1. Cracking
2. Deflection
6.1
Control of Cracking
3 As y %, y % larger crack width is associated with large fy . This is why the ACI code
places a limitation on max fy = 80ksi. (ACI 9.4)
4
The concern is not the # of crack (we can not control it) but rather the crack width.
Crack width should be minimized because:

1. Appearance
2. Corrosion of steel
3. Redistributions of internal stresses
4. Effect on deflection
The controlling parameters are:

1. Surface of the reinforcing bar
(a) Round & smooth few wide cracks (bad)
(b) Irregular & deformed many small cracks (better)
2. Steel stress
3. Concrete cover

12 With the increased usuage of: a) high strength material (resulting in smaller cross section)
& b) use of refined design methods, we can no longer rely on the factor of safety to take care
of deflection, we but must detemine it

Deflection should be controlled because of:

1. Visually unacceptable
2. Possible ponding of water
3. Cracking in partition walls
4. Functional difficulties (windows, doors, etc )
5. Machine misalignment
6. Vibration

APPROXIMATE FRAME
ANALYSIS
1 Despite the widespread availability of computers, approximate methods of analysis are justified by
1. Inherent assumption made regarding the validity of a linear elastic analysis vis a vis of
an ultimate failure design.
2. Ability of structures to redistribute internal forces.
3. Uncertainties in load and material properties
2
Vertical loads are treated separately from the horizontal ones.
We use the design sign convention for moments (+ve tension below), and for shear (ccw +ve).
Assume girders to be numbered from left to right.
In all free body diagrams assume positivee forces/moments, and take algeebraic sums.
7.1
Vertical Loads
6 The girders at each floor are assumed to be continuous beams, and columns are assumed to
resist the resulting unbalanced moments from the girders.
7
Basic assumptions
1. Girders at each floor act as continous beams supporting a uniform load.
2. Inflection points are assumed to be at
(a) One tenth the span from both ends of each girder.
(b) Mid-height of the columns
3. Axial forces and deformation in the girder are negligibly small.
4. Unbalanced end moments from the girders at each joint is distributed to the columns
above and below the floor.

APPROXIMATE FRAME ANALYSIS
Based on the first assumption, all beams are statically determinate and have a span, Ls
equal to 0.8 the original length of the girder, L. (Note that for a rigidly connected member, the
inflection point is at 0.211 L, and at the support for a simply supported beam; hence, depending
on the nature of the connection one could consider those values as upper and lower bounds for
the approximate location of the hinge).

Girder axial forces are assumed to be negligible eventhough the unbalanced column shears
above and below a floor will be resisted by girders at the floor.

Horizontal Loads
We must differentiate between low and high rise buildings.
Low rise buidlings, where the height is at least samller than the hrizontal dimension, the
deflected shape is characterized by shear deformations.
High rise buildings, where the height is several times greater than its least horizontal dimension, the deflected shape is dominated by overall flexural deformation.
7.2.1
Portal Method
11 Low rise buildings under lateral loads, have predominantly shear deformations. Thus, the
approximate analysis of this type of structure is based on
1. Distribution of horizontal shear forces.

2. Location of inflection points.
12
The portal method is based on the following assumptions

1. Inflection points are located at
(a) Mid-height of all columns above the second floor.
(b) Mid-height of floor columns if rigid support, or at the base if hinged.
(c) At the center of each girder.
2. Total horizontal shear at the mid-height of all columns at any floor level will be distributed among these columns so that each of the two exterior columns carry half as
much horizontal shear as each interior columns of the frame.

Biaxial Bending
Often columns are subjected to biaxial moments (such as corner columns)
An exact approach entails the trial and eror determination of an inclined neutral axis, this
is an exact method but too cumbersome to use in practice.
16
17 Hence, we seek an approximate solution, the most widely used method is the load contour
method or Bresler-Parme method.

first for biaxially loaded columns.
Example 9-4: Biaxially Loaded Column

Determine the adequacy of a 16 in. square tied column with 8 # 9 bars. d0 = 2.5 in, and
there are 3 bars on each side. The section is to carry factored loads of Pu = 144 k, Mux = 120 k.ft
and Muy = 54 k.ft, fc0 = 3 ksi and fy = 40 ksi. P0 = 952 k, M0x = M0y = 207 k.ft (we have a

Euler Elastic Buckling
Column buckling theory originated with Leonhard Euler in 1744. An initially straight member is concentrically loaded, and all fibers remain elastic until buckling occur.
27
28 For buckling to occur, it must be assumed that the column is slightly bent as shown in Fig.
9.12. Note, in reality no column is either perfectly straight, and in all cases a minor imperfection
x and y are
principal axes
Slightly bent position

is present.
29 At any location x along the column, the imperfection in the column compounded by the
concentric load P , gives rise to a moment
Mz = P y
(9.32)
Note that the value of yis irrelevant.

30
Recalling that

upon substitution, we obtain the following differential equation

the solution to this second-order linear differential equation is

The two constants are determined by applying the essential boundary conditions
1. y = 0 at x = 0, thus B = 0
2. y = 0 at x = L, thus
A sin kL = 0

PRESTRESSED CONCRETE
10.1
Introduction
Beams with longer spans are architecturally more appealing than those with short ones.
However, for a reinforced concrete beam to span long distances, it would have to have to be
relatively deep (and at some point the self weight may become too large relative to the live
load), or higher grade steel and concrete must be used.
1
However, if we were to use a steel with fy much higher than 60 ksi in reinforced concrete
(R/C), then to take full advantage of this higher yield stress while maintaining full bond between
concrete and steel, will result in unacceptably wide crack widths. Large crack widths will in
turn result in corrosion of the rebars and poor protection against fire.
One way to control the concrete cracking and reduce the tensile stresses in a beam is to
prestress the beam by applying an initial state of stress which is opposite to the one which will
be induced by the load.
3
For a simply supported beam, we would then seek to apply an initial tensile stress at the
top and compressive stress at the bottom. In prestressed concrete (P/C) this can be achieved
through prestressing of a tendon placed below the elastic neutral axis.
4
5 Main advantages of P/C: Economy, deflection & crack control, durability, fatigue strength,
longer spans.
6
There two type of Prestressed Concrete beams:
Pretensioning: Steel is first stressed, concrete is then poured around the stressed bars. When
enough concrete strength has been reached the steel restraints are released, Fig. 10.1.
Postensioning: Concrete is first poured, then when enough strength has been reached a steel
cable is passed thru a hollow core inside and stressed, Fig. 10.2.
10.1.1
Materials
7 P/C beams usually have higher compressive strength than R/C. Prestressed beams can have
fc0 as high as 8,000 psi.
8
The importance of high yield stress for the steel is illustrated by the following simple example.

10.1 Introduction
103
If we consider the following:

1. An unstressed steel cable of length Ls
2. A concrete beam of length Lc
3. Prestress the beam with the cable, resulting in a stressed length of concrete and steel
equal to L0s = L0c .
4. Due to shrinkage and creep, there will be a change in length
Lc = (sh + cr )Lc
(10.1)
we want to make sure that this amout of deformation is substantially smaller than the
stretch of the steel (for prestressing to be effective).
5. Assuming ordinary steel: fs = 30 ksi, Es = 29, 000 ksi, s =
30
29,000
= 1.03 103 in/ in
6. The total steel elongation is s Ls = 1.03 103 Ls

7. The creep and shrinkage strains are about cr + sh ' .9 103
8. The residual stress which is left in the steel after creep and shrinkage took place is thus
(1.03 .90) 103 (29 103 ) = 4 ksi
Thus the total loss is
304
30
(10.2)
= 87% which is unacceptably too high.
9. Alternatively if initial stress was 150 ksi after losses we would be left with 124 ksi or a
17% loss.
10. Note that the actual loss is (.90 103 )(29 103 ) = 26 ksi in each case
9
Having shown that losses would be too high for low strength steel, we will use
Strands usually composed of 7 wires. Grade 250 or 270 ksi, Fig. 10.3.

Figure 10.3: 7 Wire Prestressing Tendon

Tendon have diameters ranging from 1/2 to 1 3/8 of an inch. Grade 145 or 160 ksi.
Wires come in bundles of 8 to 52.
Note that yield stress is not well defined for steel used in prestressed concrete, usually we take
1% strain as effective yield.
Steel relaxation is the reduction in stress at constant strain (as opposed to creep which
is reduction of strain at constant stress) occurs. Relaxation occurs indefinitely and produces
significant prestress loss. If we denote by fp the final stress after t hours, fpi the initial stress,
and fpy the yield stress, then

Prestressing Forces
Prestress force varies with time, so we must recognize 3 stages:

1. Pj Jacking force. But then due to
(a) friction and anchorage slip in post-tension
(b) elastic shortening in pretension
is reduced to:
2. Pi Initial prestress force; But then due to time dependent losses caused by
(a) relaxation of steel
(b) shrinkage of concrete
(c) creep of concrete
is reduced to:
3. Pe Effective force
10.1.3

Assumptions
The following assumptions are made;

1. Materials are both in the elastic range
2. section is uncracked
3. sign convention: +ve tension, ve compression
4. Subscript 1 refers to the top and 2 to the bottom
5. I, S1 =
I
c1 ,
S2 =
I
c2 ,
(section modulus)
6. e + ve if downward from concrete neutral axis
10.1.4
Tendon Configuration
13 Through proper arrangement of the tendon (eccentricity at both support and midspan)
various internal flexural stress distribution can be obtained, Fig. 10.4.
10.1.5
Equivalent Load
An equivalent load for prestressing can be usually determined from the tendon configuration
and the prestressing force, Fig. 10.5.

Load Deformation
The load-deformation curve for a prestressed concrete beam is illustrated in Fig. 10.6.

10.2 Flexural Stresses
Draft
4. Pe and M0 + MDL + MLL
The internal stress distribution at each one of those four stages is illustrated by Fig. 10.7.
Figure 10.7: Flexural Stress Distribution for a Beam with Variable Eccentricity; Maximum
Moment Section and Support Section, (Nilson 1978)
Draft
108
17 Those (service) flexural stresses must be below those specified by the ACI code (where the
subscripts c, t, i and s refer to compression, tension, initial and service respectively):
0
fci permitted concrete compression stress at initial stage .60fp
ci
fti permitted concrete tensile stress at initial stage
< 3 fci0
0
fcs permitted concrete compressive stress at service stage .45f
pc
p
fts permitted concrete tensile stress at initial stage
6 fc0 or 12 fc0
p
Note that fts can reach 12 fc0 only if appropriate deflection analysis is done, because section
would be cracked.
18
Based on the above, we identify two types of prestressing:
Full prestressing (pioneered by Freysinet), no tensile stresses, no crack, but there are some
problems with excessive camber when unloaded.
Partial prestressing (pioneered by Leonhardt, Abeles, Thurliman), cracks are allowed to
occur (just as in R/C), and they are easier to control in P/C than in R/C.
The ACI code imposes the following limits on the steel stresses in terms of fpu which is the
ultimate strength of the cable: Pj < .80fpu As and Pi < .70fpu As . No limits are specified for
Pe .

Example 10-1: Prestressed Concrete I Beam

Adapted from (Nilson 1978)
The following I Beam has fc0 = 4, 000 psi, L = 40 ft, DL+LL =0.55 k/ft, concrete density
= 150 lb/ft3 and multiple 7 wire strands with constant eccentricity e = 5.19 in. Pi = 169 k,
and the total losses due to creep, shinkage, relaxation are 15%.

Case Study: Walnut Lane Bridge
Adapted from (Billington and Mark 1983)

20 The historical Walnut Lane Bridge (first major prestressed concrete bridge in the USA) is
made of three spans, two side ones with lengths of 74 ft and a middle one of length 160 feet.
Thirteen prestressed cocnrete beams are placed side by side to make up a total width of 44
fet of roadway and two 9.25 feet of sidewalk. In between the beams, and cast with them, are
transverse stiffeners which connect the beams laterally, Fig. 10.8

Prestressing
22 Each beam is prestressed by two middle parabolic cables, and two outer horizontal ones
along the flanges. All four have approximately the same eccentricity at midspan of 2.65 ft. or
31.8 inch.
23 Each prestressing cable is made up 64 wires each with a diameter of 0.27 inches. Thus the
total area of prestressing steel is given by:
Awire = (d/2)2 = 3.14(

0.276 in 2
) = 0.0598 in2
2
(10.21-a)
Draft

Acable = 64(0.0598) in2 = 3.83 in2

2
Atotal = 4(3.83) in = 15.32 in
(10.21-b)
(10.21-c)
24 Whereas the ultimate tensile strength of the steel used is 247 ksi, the cables have been
stressed only to 131 ksi, thus the initial prestressing force Pi is equal to
Pi = (131) ksi(15.32) in2 = 2, 000 k

25
The losses are reported ot be 13%, thus the effective force is

Pe = (1 0.13)(2, 000) k = 1, 740 k
10.3.3
26
(10.22)
(10.23)
Loads
The self weight of the beam is q0 = 1.72 k/ft.
The concrete (density=.15 k/ ft3 ) road has a thickness of 0.45 feet. Thus for a 44 foot width,
the total load over one single beam is
1
qr,tot = (44) ft(0.45) ft(0.15) k/ ft3 = 0.23 k/ft
(10.24)
13
27
Similarly for the sidewalks which are 9.25 feet wide and 0.6 feet thick:
1
(10.25)
qs,tot = (2)(9.25) ft(0.60) ft(0.15) k/ ft3 = 0.13 k/ft
13
We note that the weight can be evenly spread over the 13 beams beacause of the lateral
diaphragms.
28
29
The total dead load is

qDL = 0.23 + 0.13 = 0.36 k/ft
(10.26)
30 The live load is created by the traffic, and is estimated to be 94 psf, thus over a width of
62.5 feet this gives a uniform live load of
1
wLL = (0.094) k/f t2 (62.5) ft = 0.45 k/ft
(10.27)
13
31
Finally, the combined dead and live load per beam is

wDL+LL = 0.36 + 0.45 = 0.81 k/ft
