Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures
Structures
Based on Strength, Concrete can be classified into Four Categories:
Type I: General purpose. For use when the special properties specified for any
other types are not required.
Type II: For general use, more specially when moderate sulphate resistance or
moderate heat of hydration is desired.
Type III: For use when high early strength is desired. (limit the C3A content of the
cement to maximum 15%)
Type IV: For use when low heat of hydration is desired. مثل السدود
Type V: For use when high sulfate resistance is desired. (Maximum limit of 5% on
C3A) . مثل االماكن القريبة من الستنقعات و المياه
Admixtures
Admixtures are ingredients other than portland cement,
water, and aggregates.
Admixtures are added to the concrete mixture immediately before or during mixing.

Rectangular Beams
Definition of Beam
Beam is the horizontal member of a structure,
carrying transverse load. Beam carry the Floor
slab or the roof slab. Beam transfer all the
loads including its self-weight to the columns
or walls.
According to ACI Code 9.6.1.2 the minimum
steel should not be less than

• Concrete proportions
• – Use d=(2-3)b or bw

is the maximum moment that the cross section
can handle according to the ACI code
