The art of design

Design is an analysis of trial sections. The strength

of each trial section is compared with the expected
load effect.

The load effect on a section is determined using

structural analysis and mechanics of materials.

The strength of a reinforced concrete section is

Homework Policy

Show all your assumptions and work details. Prepare neat

sketches showing the reinforcement and dimensions.
dimensions
Marking will consider primarily neatness of presentation,
completeness

You may get the HW points if you copy the solution from
other
h students.
d However, you will
ill have

practicing the concepts through doing the HW. This will lead
you to loosing points in the exams,
exams which you could have
gained if you did your HWs on your own.

No late HWs will be accepted. Homework solutions will be

Policy
y towards discipline
p during

Zero tolerance will be practiced.

No talking with other students is allowed.

Raise your hand before answering or asking questions.

Leaving during class is not allowed (especially for

answering the cell-phone) unless a previous permission is
granted.

Violation of discipline rules may have you dismissed from

class and jeopardize your participation points. ١٣

Policyy towards missed classes

Any collectively missed class MUST be made up.

A collectively missed class will be made up either on a

Thursdayy or duringg the discussion lecture.

An absence from a lecture will loose you attendance points,

and the lecture will not be repeated for you.

own. You may use the lecture videos.

Units used in class

In all equations, the input and output units are as follows:

Distance (L,b,d,h): mm
Area (Ac,A As): mm2
Ag,A
Volume (V): mm3
Force (P,V,N)): N
Moment (M): N.mm
Stress (fy, fc’): N/mm2 = MPa = 106 N/m2
Pressure (qs): N/mm2
Distributed load per unit length (wu): N/mm
Di t ib t d load
Distributed it area (qu):
l d per unit N/mm2
) N/
Weight per unit volume (γ): N/mm3 ١٥

Units used in class

However, these quantities may be presented as

Distance(L,b,d,h): cm , m
Area (Ac,A As): cm2, m2
Ag,A
Volume (V): cm3, m3
Force (P,V,N)): kN
Moment (M): kN.m
Pressure (qs): kN/m2
Distributed load per unit length (wu): kN/m
Distributed load per unit area (qu): kN/m2
W i ht per unit

Unit conversions
m = 102 cm = 103 mm
m2 = 104 cm2 = 106 mm2
m3 = 106 cm3 = 109 mm3
kN = 103 N
kN.m = 106 N.mm
kN/m2 = 10-3 N/mm2
kN/m3 = 10-6 N/mm3

You MUST specify the unit of each result you obtain

ACI Equations
q
The equations taken from the ACI code will be indicated throughout the
slides by their section or equation number in the code provided in
shading.

Examples:
Ec = 4700 f c′ ACI 8.5.1

f r = 0.62 f c′ ACI Eq. 9-10

Some of the original equations may have included the symbol λ = 1.0
g concrete and omitted in slides.
