Reinforced Concrete Design WITH ANSWERS
ALL BUNDLED TO BOOST AND EASE YOUR
STUDY/ 2024 EDITION/ ALREADY GRADED A+
reinforced concrete - ANSWER Concrete in which steel reinforcement is embedded in such a manner that
the two materials act together in resisting forces. Also called beton arme,ferro concrete
Reinforcement - ANSWER System of steel bars, strength or wires for absorbing stensile, shearing and
sometimes the compressive stresses in a concrete member or structure
Reinforcing bar - ANSWER Steel bar for enforcing concrete, usually specified by the number equivalent to
its diameter in eight of an inch. Also called rebar
Deform bar - ANSWER Reinforcing bar hot rolled with surface deformations to develop greater bond with
concrete
Tension reinforcement - ANSWER Rainforcement designed to absorb tensile stresses
Compression reinforcement - ANSWER Reinforcement designed to absorb compressive stresses
Effective depth - ANSWER The depth of concrete section measured from compression face to the
centroid of the tension reinforcement
Bar spacing - ANSWER The center to center spacing of parallel reinforcing bar, resulting clear distance
between the bar being regula ted by bar diameter, maximum size of coarse aggregate, and thickness of
the concrete section
, Cover - ANSWER The amount of concrete required to protect steel reinforcement from fire and
corrosion, measured from surface to the reinforcement to the outer surface of the concrete section
Bond - ANSWER The adhesion between two substances such as concrete and reinforcing bars
bond stress - ANSWER The adhesive force per unit area of contact between the rain forcing bar in the
surrounding concrete developed at any section of a flexural a member
Plain concrete - ANSWER Concrete having no enforcement or reinforced only for drying shrinkage or
thermal stresses
Ferrocement - ANSWER Constructed of cement and mortar over a wire mesh that has been pre shape
over a mold
Cracked section - ANSWER Concrete section design or analyzed on the assumption that concrete has no
resistance to tensile stresses
Cracking load - ANSWER The load that causes the tensile stresses in a concrete member to exceed the
tensile strength of the concrete
Effective area of concrete - ANSWER The area of a concrete section between the compression face in the
centroid of the tension reinforcement
Effective area of reinforcement - ANSWER The product of the right cross sectional area of reinforcement
in the cosine of the angle between the direction in the direction for which its effectiveness is considered
percentage reinforcement - ANSWER The ratio of effective area of reinforcement effective area of
concrete at any section of a reinforced concrete member, expressed as a percentage
Embedment length - ANSWER the length of embedded reinforcement provided beyond a critical section
for Anchorage
