301013: Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Unit I: Design Philosophies and Analysis (06 Hours)
Design philosophies of RC structures: working stress method and limit state method, Limit
state method: limit state of collapse, limit state of serviceability and limit state of durability,
characteristic strength, characteristic load, partial safety factors. structural properties of
concrete and reinforcing steel, assumptions of limit state method, strain variation diagram,
stress variation diagram, design parameters for singly reinforced rectangular section, modes
of failure, moment of resistance of singly and doubly reinforced rectangular section, singly
reinforced flanged section.
Unit II: Design of Slab (06 Hours)
Design of one-way slab: simply supported, cantilever and continuous slabs by using IS Code
coefficients, design of two way slab: simply supported, continuous and restrained.

Unit III: Design of Staircase and Beams (06 Hours)
Design of staircase: dog legged and open well, design of simply supported, cantilever beams
for flexure (singly reinforced, doubly reinforced and flanged), shear, bond and torsion.
Unit IV: Design of Beams (06 Hours)
Design of rectangular and flanged cross section continuous beam by using IS code
coefficients and moment redistribution method.
Unit V: Design of Column (06 Hours)
Assumptions, minimum eccentricity, design of short column for axial load, design of short
column subjected to combined axial load and uni-axial/biaxial bending using interaction
curves.
Unit VI: Design of Footing (06 Hours)
Design of isolated column footing for axial load and uni-axial bending, design of combined
footing for two columns: slab type/ slab and beam type rectangular
