(The codal provision for I.S.456 2000 along with other codes are to be followed)
1 Working stress method (WSM)
1.1 Objectives of design and detailing. State the different methods of design of
concrete structures.
1.2 Introduction to reinforced concrete, R.C. sections their behavior, grades of
concrete and steel. Permissible stresses, assumption in W.S.M.
1.3 Flexural design and analysis of single reinforced sections from first principles.
1.4 Concept of under reinforced, over reinforced and balanced sections.
1.5 Advantages and disadvantages of WSM, reasons for its obsolescence.
2 Philosophy Of Limit State Method (LSM)
2.1 Definition, Advantages of LSM over WSM, IS code suggestions regarding
design philosophy.
2.2 Types of limit states, partial safety factors for materials strength, characteristic
strength, characteristic load, design load, loading on structure as per I.S. 875
2.3 Study of I.S specification regarding spacing of reinforcement in slab, cover to
reinforcement in slab, beam column & footing, minimum reinforcement in slab,
beam & column, lapping, anchorage, effective span for beam & slab.
3 Analysis and Design of Single and Double Reinforced Sections (LSM)
3.1 Limit state of collapse (flexure), Assumptions, Stress-Strain relationship for
concrete and steel, neutral axis, stress block diagram and strain diagram for
singly reinforced section.
3.2 Concept of under- reinforced, over-reinforced and limiting section, neutral axis
co-efficient, limiting value of moment of resistance and limiting percentage of
steel required for limiting singly R.C. section.
3.3 Analysis and design: determination of design constants, moment of resistance
and area of steel for rectangular sections
3.4 Necessity of doubly reinforced section, design of doubly reinforced rectangular
section
4 Shear, Bond and Development Length (LSM)
4.1 Nominal shear stress in R.C. section, design shear strength of concrete,
maximum shear stress, design of shear reinforcement, minimum shear
reinforcement, forms of shear reinforcement.
4.2 Bond and types of bond, bond stress, check for bond stress, development
length in tension and compression, anchorage value for hooks 900 bend and
450 bend standards lapping of bars, check for development length.
4.3 Numerical problems on deciding whether shear reinforcement is required or
not, check for adequacy of the section in shear. Design of shear
reinforcement; Minimum shear reinforcement in beams (Explain through
examples only).
5 Analysis and Design of T-Beam (LSM)
5.1 General features, advantages, effective width of flange as per IS: 456-2000
code provisions.
5.2 Analysis of singly reinforced T-Beam, strain diagram & stress diagram, depth
of neutral axis, moment of resistance of T-beam section with neutral axis lying
within the flange.
5.3 Simple numerical problems on deciding effective flange width. (Problems only
on finding moment of resistance of T-beam section when N.A. lies within or up
to the bottom of flange shall be asked in written examination)..
6 Analysis and Design of Slab and Stair case (LSM)
6.1 Design of simply supported one-way slabs for flexure check for deflection
control and shear.
6.2 Design of one-way cantilever slabs and cantilevers chajjas for flexure check
for deflection control and check for development length and shear.
6.3 Design of two-way simply supported slabs for flexure with corner free to lift.
6.4 Design of dog-legged staircase
6.5 Detailing of reinforcement in stairs spanning longitudinally.
7 Design of Axially loaded columns and Footings (LSM)
7.1 Assumptions in limit state of collapse- compression.
7.2 Definition and classification of columns, effective length of column.
Specification for minimum reinforcement; cover, maximum reinforcement,
number of bars in rectangular, square and circular sections, diameter and
spacing of lateral ties.
7.3 Analysis and design of axially loaded short square, rectangular and circular
columns (with lateral ties only).
7.4 Types of footing, Design of isolated square column footing of uniform
thickness for flexure and shear.
