I. Introduction

NSCP 402
 Sand + Gravel = AGGREGATE
Cement + Aggregate + Water = CONCRETE
Concrete alone = Good for compression only!!
Steel alone = Good for tension only!!
Therefore:
Concrete + Steel = REINFORCED CONCRETE

Reinforced Concrete = Good for combined compression and tension

Structural members subjected to both compression and tension are

beam, column, suspended slab

Members that are subjected to compression only is pedestal and slab ob fill.
It does not need tension reinforcement.
Ex: Flagpole and sidewalk
NSCP 402
Light weight concrete 5.5 to 18.1 KN/m3

Normal weight concrete 18.1 to 33 KN/m3

Standard weight concrete 23.54 KN/m3
Heavy weight concrete 33 KN/m3 up
Es = 200,000 Mpa

I. Introduction Beams and columns:
180o bend

min[4db, 60mm]

12db 90o bend

Stirrup and Tie:

10 to 16mmØ (seismic hook)
90o bend or more
min[6db, 75mm]

20 to 25mmØ
12db 90o bend

up to 25mmØ (seismic hook)

135o bend or more

min[6db, 75mm]
NSCP 4-8
Min. Diameter of bend
T204-1 Densities

Plain Concrete = 22.6 KN/m3

Reinf. Concrete = 23.6 KN/m3
Steel = 77.3 KN/m3

T205-1 Liveloads
T205-1 Liveloads
T205-2 Special loads
T205-3 Roof liveloads
Loads and Load Combinations:
203.3.1 Basic Load Combinations (LRFD)
U = Ultimate load combination
D = Dead load 1.4D (203-1)
1.2D + 1.6L (203-2)
L = Live load
1.2D + L (203-3)
Lr = Roof live load 1.2D + 0.5W (203-3)
1.2D + W + L (203-4)
E = Earthquake load
1.2D + E + L (203-5)
W = Wind load 0.9D + W (203-6)
0.9D + E (203-7)
F = Fluid pressure
1.4D + 1.7L (USD) optional
T = Self Straining Forces
H = Lateral load (soil and/or water)
R = Rain load

 405.11 Depositing
405.10 Conveying
405.12 Curing

Useful Conversions:
1 pound = 4.448N
N/mm2 = MPa
KN/m2 = KPa
1 psf = 47.887 Pa
1 pcf = 156.97 N/m3
1000 psi = 1 ksi
1000 psi = 6.894413 MPa
