This section is adapted from Concrete by Mindess and Young, Prentice Hall, 1981
1.1.1.1 Mix Design

1.1.1.1.1 Constituents
1 Concrete is a mixture of Portland cement, water, and aggregates (usually sand and crushed
stone).
2 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.
3 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.
4 Smaller particles up to 1/4 in. in size are called fine aggregates, and the larger ones being
coarse aggregates.
5 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)

Figure 1.1: Schematic Representation of Aggregate Gradation

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.
7 ASTM C33 (Standard Specifications for Concrete Aggregates) governs the types of rock which
can produce aggregates.
8 The shape can be rounded, irregular, angular, flaky, or elongated.
9 The surface texture can be glassy, smooth, granular, rough, crystalline or honeycombed.
10 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.
11The 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.
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.
14If 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.
15Since 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.

16 Moisture states are defined as

INTRODUCTION
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
WSSD − WOD
AC = × 100% (1.1)
WOD
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
WW et − WSSD
SM = × 100% (1.2)
WSSD
18 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
cumulative percent retained on standard sieves
F.M. = (1.3)
100
where the standard sieves used are No. 100, No. 50, No. 30, No. 16, No. 8, and No. 4, and
3/8 in, 3/4 in, 11/2 in and larger.
19 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.
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.
23 no-fines concrete has little cohesiveness in the frsh 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.

1.1.1.1.2 Preliminary Considerations
24 There are two fundamental aspects to mix design to keep in mind:
1. Water/Cement ratio: where the strength in inversely proportional to the water to cement
ratio, approximately expressed as:
A
fc = (1.4)
B 1.5w/c
For fc 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
Pt = (1.5)
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
25Before starting the mix design process, the following material properties should be deter-
mined:
1. Sieve analysis of both fine and coarse aggregates
2. Unit weight of the coarse aggregate
3. bulk specific gravities

slump.
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 mini-
mum 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.

provides some guidance in terms of strength.

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 28-
day 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 .

The OD weight of the coarse aggregate is 17.01 × 100 = 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.
Water 280/62.4 = 4.49 ft3
Cement 700/(3.15)(62.4) = 3.56 ft3
Coarse Aggregate (SSD) 1,718/(2.70)(62.4) = 1.62 ft3
Air (0.06)(27) = 1.62 ft3
19.87 ft3
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 × 2.65 × 62.4 = 1, 179 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 aggre-
gate weights become:
Coarse aggregate (wet)=1,718(1.025-0.01) = 1,744 lb/yd3

Fine aggregate (wet)=1,179(1.055-0.013) = 1,229 lb/yd3
Surface moisture contributed by the coarse aggregate is 2.5-1.0 = 1.5%; by the fine ag-
gregate: 5.5-1.3 = 4.2%; Hence the additional water required is then
280-1,718(0.015)-1,179(0.042) = 205 lb/yd3 .
Thus, the estimated batch weight per yd3 are
Water 205 lb
Cement 700 lb
Wet coarse aggregate 1,744 lb
Wet fine aggregate 1,229 lb
3,878 lb/yd3

INTRODUCTION
Normal weight and lightweight concrete have γ equal to 150 and 90-120 lb/ft3 respectively.
28 Poisson’s ratio ν = 0.15.
29Typical concrete (compressive) strengths range from 3,000 to 6,000 psi; However high strength
concrete can go up to 14,000 psi.
30 Stress-strain curve depends on
1. Properties of aggregates
2. Properties of cement
3. Water/cement ratio
4. Strength
5. Age of concrete
6. Rate of loading, as rate, strength

38 In most cases, concrete is subjected to uniaxial stresses, but it is possible to have biaxial
(shells, shear walls) or triaxial (beam/column connections) states of stress.
39 Biaxial strength curve is shown in Fig. 1.6
40 Concrete has also some time-dependent properties
Shrinkage: when exposed to air (dry), water tends to evaporate from the concrete surface, ⇒
shrinkage. It depends on the w/c and relative humidity. εsh ≈ 0.0002 − 0.0007. Shrinkage
can cause cracking if the structure is restrained, and may cause large secondary stresses.
If a simply supported beam is fully restrained against longitudinal deformation, then

1.1.2 Reinforcing Steel
42 Steel is used as reinforcing bars in concrete, Table 1.11.

43Bars 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
46Steel loses its strength rapidly above 700 deg. F (and thus must be properly protected from
fire), and becomes brittle at −30 deg. F
47 Prestressing Steel cables have an ultimate strength up to 270 ksi.
48 Welded wire fabric is often used to reinforce slabs and shells. It has both longitudinal and
transverse cold-drawn steel. They are designated by A×A−W B ×B, such as 6×6−W 1.4×1.4
where spacing of the wire is 6 inch, and a cross section of 0.014 in2 .

50 Note that the subscript d and u are equivalent.

51 The various factored load combinations which must be considered (ACI: 9.2) are
1. 1.4D+1.7L
2. 0.75(1.4D+1.7L+1.7W)
3. 0.9D+1.3W

8. 1.4(D+T)
where D= dead; L= live; Lr= roof live; W= wind; E= earthquake; S= snow; T= temperature;
H= soil. We must select the one with the largest limit state load.
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
1.3 Analysis vs Design
53 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.

1.4 Basic Relations and Assumptions

INTRODUCTION
55 In developing a design/analysis method for reinforced concrete, the following basic relations
will be used:
1. Equilibrium: of forces and moment at the cross section. 1) ΣFx = 0 or Tension in the
reinforcement = Compression in concrete; and 2) ΣM = 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 fc .
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.
1.5 ACI Code

Attached is an unauthorized copy of some of the most relevant ACI-318-89 design code provi-
sions.
8.1.1 - In design of reinforced concrete structures, members shall be proportioned for ad-
equate strength in accordance with provisions of this code, using load factors and strength
reduction factors Φ 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 8.9 may be used.
8.5.1 - Modulus of elasticity Ec for concrete may be taken as Wc1.5 33 fc ( psi) for values
of Wc between 90 and 155 lb per cu ft. For normal weight concrete, Ec may be taken as
57, 000 fc .
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
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 )

Draft
1.5 ACI Code 1–17
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
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 Φ.
9.3.2 - Strength reduction factor Φ 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 rect-
angular concrete stress distribution defined by the following:
10.2.7.1 - Concrete stress of 0.85fc shall be assumed uniformly distributed over an equiva-
lent compression zone bounded by edges of the cross section and a straight line located parallel
to the neutral axis at a distance (a = β1 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 β1 shall be taken as 0.85 for concrete strengths fc up to and including
4,000 psi. For strengths above 4,000 psi, β1 shall be reduced continuously at a rate of 0.05 for
each 1000 psi of strength in excess of 4,000 psi, but β1 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 compres-
sive axial load when the design axial load strength (ΦPn ) is less than the smaller of (0.10fc Ag )
or (ΦPb ), the ratio of reinforcement p provided shall not exceed 0.75 of the ratio ρb that would
produce balanced strain conditions for the section under flexure without axial load. For mem-
bers with compression reinforcement, the portion of ρb 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.

Draft
1–18 INTRODUCTION
10.5.1 - At any section of a flexural member, except as provided in Sections 10.5.2 and
10.5.3, where positive reinforcement is required by analysis, the ratio ρ provided shall not be
less than that given by

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 σ ⇒ exact integration
2. Replace exact stress diagram with a simpler and equivalent one, (ACI 10.2.6)
Second approach adopted by most codes.

20For the equivalent stress distribution, all we we need to know is C & its location, thus α and
β We adopt a rectangular stress, with depth a = β1 c, and stress equal to γfc (ACI 10.2.7.1)
C = αfc bc = γfc ab (2.20-a)

Thus

But the location of the resultant forces must be the same, hence

28 Note, that ρ need not be as high as 0.75ρb . If steel is relatively expensive, or deflection is of
concern, can use lower ρ.

Draft
2.4 Practical Design Considerations
2.4.2 Beam Sizes, Bar Spacing, Concrete Cover

2–13
35 Beam sizes should be dimensioned as

1
1. Use whole inches for overall dimensions, except for slabs use 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.
2.4.3 Design Aids
37 Basic equations developed in this section can be easily graphed.

Review Given b d and known steel ratio ρ and material strength, φMn can be readily obtained
from φMn = φRbd2
Design in this case
1. Set Md = φRbd2
2. From tabulated values, select ρmax and ρmin often 0.5ρb is a good economical choice.
3. Select R from tabulated values of R in terms of fy , fc and ρ. Solve for bd2 .
4. Select b and d to meet requirements. Usually depth is about 2 to 3 times the width.
5. 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.

2.8.1 Moment Capacity Diagram
71 Ideally, the steel should be everywhere as nearly fully stressed as possible. Since the steel
force is proportional to the moment, then the steel area is nearly proportional to the moment
diagram.
72 Requirements include, Fig. 2.23:
1. At least A3s in simple beams and As
4 for continuous beams should be extended at least 6
in. into support.
2. If negative bars are cut, they must extend at least ld beyond face of support.
3. Negative bars must extend d or 12db beyond theoretical cutoff point defined by moment
diagram.
4. At least one third of top reinforcement at support must extend at least ld beyond the-
ln
oretical cutoff point of other bars, and d, 12db or 16 beyond the inflection point of the
negative moment diagram.
73 Determination of cutoff points can be rather tedious, for nearly equal spans uniformly loaded,
in which no more than about one half the tensile steel is to be cut off or bent, locations shown
in Fig. 2.24 are satisfactory (note that left support is assumed simply supported).

5 Some of the important parameters controlling shear failure:

M
1. Shear span ratio Vd
2. Steel ratio ρ = Abds

3. ft = 4 fe note that fr = 7.5 fc
6 We shall first examine the shear strength of uncracked sections, then the one of cracked
sections (with shear reinforcement).
3.2 Shear Strength of Uncracked Section
7 Q: What is the maximum shear force which can be applied before a flexural crack develop
into a flexural shear crack?
1. Apply M → flexural crack
2. Apply V → flexural shear crack
8 Note that all shear resistance is provided by the concrete. As with flexural reinforcement,
steel is ineffective as long as the section is uncracked.

2. Determine shear stress v in terms of V

10. This equation is usually found acceptable for predicting the flexure shear cracking load
for shear span/depth ratio VMnnd of 2.5 to 6 & is found to be very conservative for lower
values
11. Increasing ρ has a beneficial effort as a larger amount of steel results in narrower & smaller
flexural tension cracks before formation of diagonal cracks ⇒ larger area of uncracked
concrete can resist the shear.

14 The ACI code requirements ( 11) are summarized by Fig. 3.8:
1. Design for Vu (factored shear) rather than Vn = Vu
φ (ACI 11.1.1), ⇒ plot Vu diagram.
2. Determine φVc (nominal shear carried by the concrete) where

Vc = 2 fc bw d (ACI 11.3.1.1)
or
Vc = [1.9 fc + 2, 500ρw VMuud ]bw d ≤ 3.5 fc bw d (ACI 11.3.2.1) (3.11)
where
Vu d
Mu < 1
3. If Vu <0.5 φVc no shear reinforcement is needed (ACI 11.5.5.1)

4. If 0.5φVc < Vu ≤ φVc use minimum shear reinforcement; select Av (usually #3 bars) and
determine
Av f y

(ACI 11.5.5.3)
d (3.12)
s < 2 (ACI 11.5.4.1)
s < 24 in (ACI 11.5.4.1)
5. If Vu > φVc ⇒ provide stirrup such that

6. If Vu − Vc > 4 fc bw d, then s < d
4 and s < 12 in, (ACI 11.5.4.3).
7. Upper limit:
Vu − Vc < 8 fc bw d (ACI 11.5.6.8) (3.15)
8. fy ≤ 60 ksi, (ACI 11.5.2)

14 Thus we will have a plastic hinge at the support however this is not synonymous with collapse.

16 Thus capacity was increased 33% after first plastic hinge occurred.
17This is accompanied by large rotation of the plastic hinges at the supports, and when com-
pared with the linear elastic solution M −ve and M +ve
18 The section must be designed to accomodate this rotation.
4.4.2 Concrete
19Concrete is brittle hence by itself no appreciable plastic deformation can occur, however in
R/C, Fig. 4.8
20 If certain rotation capacity exists (i.e., if ρ − ρ is low) M is controlled by yielding of the steel
while the concrete strain is still low compared to 0.003 ⇒ reserve rotation capacity θu − θy is
then available for a redistribution of moment to occur before ε → 0.003

27 Recommended analysis/design procedures
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.

1 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 (unfac-
tored)
1. Cracking
2. Deflection
5.1 Control of Cracking
3 As σy , εy ⇒ 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.
5 Crack width should be minimized because:
1. Appearance
2. Corrosion of steel
3. Redistributions of internal stresses
4. Effect on deflection
6 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

SERVICEABILITY
10 ACI Code Sect. 9.5

11 Every structural design must satisfy requirements of strength, stiffness & stability
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
13 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
14 Deflection are computed for service loads only

15 Both long term & short term deflection should be considered.

APPROXIMATE FRAME
ANALYSIS
1 Despite the widespread availability of computers, approximate methods of analysis are justi-
fied 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.

3 We use the design sign convention for moments (+ve tension below), and for shear (ccw +ve).
4 Assume girders to be numbered from left to right.
5 In all free body diagrams assume positivee forces/moments, and take algeebraic sums.
6.1 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.
Draft
6–2

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.
6.2 Horizontal Loads
10 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 di-
mension, the deflected shape is dominated by overall flexural deformation.
6.2.1 Portal Method
11Low 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 dis-
tributed among these columns so that each of the two exterior columns carry half as
much horizontal shear as each interior columns of the frame.

rgt
P8 = V14 = −1.46 k
9. Bottom Column Axial Forces (+ve tension, -ve compression)
P1 = P5 + V9lf t = 1.75 − (−7.75) = 9.5 k

rgt
P2 = P6 + V10 + V9lf t = −0.58 − 7.75 − (−5.17) = −3.16 k
rgt lf t
P3 = P7 + V11 + V10 = 0.29 − 5.17 − (−6.46) = 1.58 k
rgt
P4 = P8 + V11 = −1.46 − 6.46 = −7.66 k
Design Parameters On the basis of the two approximate analyses, vertical and lateral load,
we now seek the design parameters for the frame, Table 6.2.

7.2 One Way Slabs
5 Preliminary considerations for one way slabs:

1. Load on slabs ksf.
2. Design an imaginary 12 in strip.
3. The area of reinforcement is As /ft of width or

As 12 in

ft bar spacing in inches
where Ab is the area of one bar. or

12Ab
Bar spacing in inches = (7.2)

4. Slab thickness t is usually assumed, and we design reinforcement. ACI 9.5.2.1 recom-
mended minimum thickness of beams/slabs are given by Table 7.1. 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
a
5. In reinforcement design, a good initial guess for 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 fc )

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 an 8 span floor slab. Each span is 15 ft long, fc = 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.
Thickness: of the floor is based on ACI recommendation:

Factored Loads Slab

Total dead load 90.6 + 0.5 + 4 + 2 = 97.1 psf
Factored load
wu = 1.4(97.1) + 1.7(100) = 306 psf (7.7)
The load per foot of strip is 306 lbs/ft
Since wl < 3wd we can use the ACI 8.3.3 coefficients to compute the moments.

Shear Since we have unequal spans we must check at
1. Exterior face of the first interior support
ln (1.15)(306)(157)
Vu = 1.15wu = = 2, 302 lb/ft of width (7.9)
2 2
2. Typical interior span
ln (1.0)(306)(166)
Vu = 1.0wu = = 2, 117 lb/ft of width (7.10)

The shear resistance is

φVc = (0.85)2 f cbw d = (0.85)(2) 3, 750(12)(6.25) = 7, 808lb/f t (7.11)
hence the slab is adequate for shear.

Shrinkage and Temperature Reinforcement must be provided perpendicular to the span

7–7
of the slab
As = 0.0018bh = 0.0018(12)(7.25) = 0.157 in2 /f t (7.12)
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.

(b) From strain compatibility solve for fsc , center steel stress if applicable.
(c) ΣFy = 0 ⇒ solve for Pn
(d) ΣM = 0 with respect to tensile reinforcement,⇒ solve for Pn
(e) If no convergence among the two Pn , iterate by solving for a from ΣFy = 0

Figure 9.8: Failure Surface of a Biaxially Loaded Column
9.2.6 Biaxial Bending
15 Often columns are subjected to biaxial moments (such as corner columns)

16 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.
Hence, we seek an approximate solution, the most widely used method is the load contour
17
method or Bresler-Parme method.

18The failure surface of a biaxialy loaded column is shown in Fig. 9.8, and the general nondi-
mensional equation for the moment contour at a constant Pn may be expressed as

Mnx α1 Mny α1
+ = 1.0
M0x M0y
where
Mnx = Pn ey
Mny = Pn ex
M0x = Mnx capacity at axial load Pn when Mny (or ex ) is zero
M0y = Mny capacity at axial load Pn when Mnx (or ey ) is zero
and α1 and α2 are exponent which depend on geometry and strength.
19 Bresler suggested that we set α1 = α2 = α. For practical purposes, a value of α = 1.5 for
rectangular columns, and between 1.5 and 2.0 for square sections has proven acceptable.
20 An improvement of Bresler equation was devised by Parme. The main assumption is that at
any load Pn , Fig. 9.9

Mnx = βM0x ; Mny = βM0y

21 Thus, β is the portion of the uniaxial moment strength permitted to act simultaneously on
the column section. It depends on the cross section, strength, and layout.
22 The usual range is between 0.55 and 0.70, with a recommended value of 0.65 for design.
23 Hence, once β is selected, we can substitute in Bresler’s equation

Example 9-4: Biaxially Loaded Column
Determine the adequacy of a 16 in. square tied column with 8 # 9 bars. d = 2.5in, 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, fc = 3 ksi and fy = 40 ksi. P0 = 952 k, M0x = M0y = 207 k.ft.
Solution:

ey = Pu = 144 = 10.0 in
Muy (54)(12)
ex = Pu = 144 = 4.5 in
The interaction diagram for e = 10 in, e = 4.5 in and e = 0 will give Pn equal to 254, 486, and
952 kips respectively.
The required load Pn = 144

9.3.1 Euler Elastic Buckling
27Column buckling theory originated with Leonhard Euler in 1744. An initially straight mem-
ber is concentrically loaded, and all fibers remain elastic until buckling occur.
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

is present.
29At 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 (9.31)
Note that the value of yis irrelevant.

30 Recalling that
d2 y Mz

upon substitution, we obtain the following differential equation

− =0 (9.33)
dx EI
P
31 Letting k 2 = EI , the solution to this second-order linear differential equation is
y = −A sin kx − B cos kx (9.34)
32 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 (9.35)

Draft
9–20
This last equation can e satisfied if: 1) A = 0, that is there is no deflection; 2) kL = 0, that is

no applied load; or 3)
kL = nπ (9.36)

Thus buckling will occur if EI = nπ L or

PRESTRESSED CONCRETE
10.1 Introduction
1 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
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
fc 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
If we consider the following:

10–3
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 Ls = Lc .
4. Due to shrinkage and creep, there will be a change in length
∆Lc = (εsh + εcr )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, εs = 30
29,000 = 1.03 × 10−3 in/ in
6. The total steel elongation is εs Ls = 1.03 × 10−3 Ls

7. The creep and shrinkage strains are about εcr + εsh .9 × 10−3
8. The residual stress which is left in the steel after creep and shrinkage took place is thus
(1.03 − .90) × 10−3 (29 × 103 ) = 4 ksi (10.2)
30−4
Thus the total loss is 30 = 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 × 10−3 )(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.

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.
10 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,

10.1.2 Prestressing Forces

11 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
12 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

I I
5. I, S1 = c1 , S2 = 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
14An equivalent load for prestressing can be usually determined from the tendon configuration

Figure 10.7: Flexural Stress Distribution for a Beam with Variable Eccentricity; Maximum
Moment Section and Support Section, (?)
17Those (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):

Draft
fci permitted concrete compression stress at initial stage .60f

ci
fti permitted concrete tensile stress at initial stage < 3 fci
fcs permitted concrete compressive stress at service stage .45f
c
fts permitted concrete tensile stress at initial stage 6 fc or 12 fc

Note that fts can reach 12 fc 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.
19 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

The following I Beam has fc = 4, 000 psi, L = 40 ft, DL+LL =0.55 k/ft, concrete density
γ = 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%.

20 The historical Walnut Lane Bridge (first major prestressed concrete bridge in the USA) is

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

10.3.2 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:
0.276 in 2
Awire = π(d/2)2 = 3.14( ) = 0.0598 in2 (10.21-a)

10.3 Case Study: Walnut Lane Bridge

10–13
(10.21-b)
2 2
Atotal = 4(3.83) in = 15.32 in (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 (10.22)
25 The losses are reported ot be 13%, thus the effective force is

Pe = (1 − 0.13)(2, 000) k = 1, 740 k (10.23)
10.3.3 Loads
26 The self weight of the beam is q0 = 1.72 k/ft.

27 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
28 Similarly for the sidewalks which are 9.25 feet wide and 0.6 feet thick:
1
qs,tot = (2)(9.25) ft(0.60) ft(0.15) k/ ft3 = 0.13 k/ft (10.25)
13
We note that the weight can be evenly spread over the 13 beams beacause of the lateral
diaphragms.
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 (10.28)

• Main differences between deep & shallow beams:
i) internal stress distribution before cracking

ii) location & orientation of cracks
iii) strength
iv) optimum reinforcement pattern
• Usually deep beams are shear critical & not flexure critical by reducing the span, momen-
tum reduced but shear remains constant

Introduction
• Basic relations used:

a) Equilibrium i) Tension = compression Σ Fx = 0
ii) Mint = Mext ΣM = 0
b) Material Stress Strain
c) Compatibility of displacements (no slip)

• Basic assumptions used:
a) Perfect bond between steel & concrete εs = εc
b) Plain section remain plane ⇒ strain is
proportional to distance from N.A.
c) Neglect shrinkage & creep (for strength).
• Design: we are going to consider a reinforced concrete beam subjected to an increasing
load with:
a) sections uncracked
b) sections cracked, elastic → u.s.o.
c) sections cracked, inelastic → U.s.o.
