Compressive Strength:
The specified compressive
strength of concrete, fc0 , is
determined by testing to failure
28-day-old 15-cm diameter by
30-cm (10 by 20cm also
permitted by SNI).
Stress-strain relationship :
Lower-strength concrete has
greater deformability (ductility)
than higher-strength concrete.
Ultimate strain at crushing of
concrete varies from 0.003 to as
high as 0.008.

Tensile strength in flexure
(modulus of rupture fr ) (ASTM
C78 or C293), may be taken as:
p
fr = 0.62λ fc0
Reinfoecement Type:
1. Plain Bar.
2. Deformed Bar.
3. Wire Mesh.

Introduction to Loads
Dead Load:
Dead loads are loads of constant magnitude that remain in one
position. They include the weight of the structure under consideration
as well as any fixtures that are permanently attached to it. For a
reinforced concrete building, some dead loads are the frames, walls,
floors, ceilings, stairways, roofs, and plumbing.
Live Loads:
Live loads are loads that can change in magnitude and position. They
include occupancy loads, warehouse materials, construction loads,
overhead service cranes, equipment operating loads, and many others.
In general, they are induced by gravity.
