CE3501 DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS LTPC
3003
COURSE OBJECTIVE:
To introduce the different design philosophy for reinforced concrete and discuss the limit state
method of design of RC rectangular beams and to learn the concept in the design of RC flanged
beams and design for shear and torsion and design of RC slabs and staircase, short RC columns, RC
footing for walls, pad, sloped and combined rectangular footings.
UNIT I METHODS OF DESIGN OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES 9
Concept of Elastic method, ultimate load method and limit state method – Working stress method as detailed
in IS code - Design of Singly Reinforced beam by working stress method - Limit State philosophy as
detailed in IS code - Advantages of Limit State Method over other methods - Analysis and design of singly
and doubly reinforced rectangular beams by limit State Method.
UNIT II LIMIT STATE METHOD - FLANGED BEAM, SHEAR & TORSION 9
Analysis and design of flanged beams – Use of design aids for Flexure - Behaviour of RC members in bond
and Anchorage - Design requirements as per current code - Behaviour of RC beams in shear and torsion -
Design of RC members for combined bending, shear and torsion - serviceability.
UNIT III LIMIT STATE DESIGN OF SLABS AND STAIRCASE 9
Analysis and design of cantilever, one way, two way and continuous slabs subjected to uniformly distributed
load for various boundary conditions- Types of Staircases – Design of dog-legged Staircase –Introduction to
Flat Slab.
UNIT IV LIMIT STATE DESIGN OF COLUMNS 9
Types of columns – Design of short Rectangular and circular columns for axial, uniaxial and biaxial
bending.
UNIT V LIMIT STATE DESIGN OF FOOTING 9
Design of wall footing – Design of axially and eccentrically loaded rectangular pad and sloped footings –
Design of combined rectangular footing for two columns only.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
