What makes Unique of RC?
It is a COMPOSITE MATERIAL
It requires APPLICATION of more involved Principles of Mechanics
Structural Design is iterative requiring both ANALYSIS and DESIGN DECISIONS aided
by judgment and EXPERIENCE.
ACI 318 -the model code in the United States of America for guiding the design of RC
members, look at Chapter 8.
NSCP Code -the code in the Philippines..conforms to the provisions of ACI 318 Code!!!
Important Material Properties
Concrete Strength and Steel Strength
28-day Compressive Strength, fc: ACI 318 Code 2011 edition, Chapter 5.
Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete, Ec: ACI 318 Code 2011 edition, Chapter 8.5
Strength property or yield strength, fy..
Modulus of Elasticity of Steel, Es: 29,000,000 psi ACI 318 Code 2011 edition.

Column Design Requirements
2.1 Strength Reduction Factor, phi =0.70 -applicable up through ACI 318-1999; they have
been changed to phi =0.65, for compression controlled members (columns and beams under
compression controls) beginning with ACI 318-2002 Code, and continuing with the ACI 318-05
and 2008 up to present.

using MS Spreadsheet.
