RC Material
Advantages Disadvantages

Relatively high compressive strength

Low tensile strength

Better fire resistance Concrete : mixing, casting, curing (affects

strength)

Low service with low maintenance cost

High cost of Forms

Can be cast in any shape

Cracks develop in concrete

Compatibility of concrete and steel

• Concrete and steel have similar
coefficient of expansion
• s = 6.5 * 10-5
• c = 5.5 * 10-5

• Concrete and steel work well together

• Concrete provides protection for steel from
corrosion
• Rft. have the necessary tensile strength

Codes of Practice
• Codes of practice are specifications to guide the designer to ensure minimum
requirements for structural safety
• Codes specify :
• Design loads
• Allowable stresses
• Requirements for building construction

• Egyptian code for design and construction of concrete structures (ECP-203)

• ACI code (American concrete Institute)
• IBC (international building code)
• ASTM ( American society for testing and materials
• European Code (EC)
• UBC (unified building code)
