Concrete It is an artificial stone derived from a mixture of properly proportioned amount of hydraulic cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates and water, with or without admixtures. A mixture of Portland cement or any other hydraulic cement, fine aggregates, course aggregates and water, with or without admixtures.
Admixture Is a material other than water, aggregate or hydraulic cement used as an ingredient of concrete and added to concrete before and during ots mixing to modify its properties.
Admixture Accelerator – an admixture which hasten the hardening rate and/or initial setting time of concrete. Retarder – an admixture which slows the setting rate of concrete.
Concrete Design Mix Typical distribution of raw materials by volume for a normal strength concrete.
Note: Cement accounts for most of the concrete raw material cost. Concrete Design Mix
Reinforced Concrete Is a composite material in which concrete’s relatively low tensile strength and ductility are countered by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength and ductility.

Slump Test Slump is a measurement of concrete's workability, or fluidity. It's an indirect measurement of concrete consistency or stiffness.
Types of Slumps The slumped concrete takes various shapes, and according to the profile of slumped concrete, the slump is termed as;
Apparatus Slump Mold Dimension of Slump Cone: Diameter of the base – 203 mm Diameter of the top – 102 mm Altitude – 305 mm
Apparatus Tamping Rod A tamping rod made of round, straight steel 16 mm in diameter and approximately 600 mm in length,with the tamping end rounded to a hemispherical tip of 16 mm diameter.
Shovel / Scoop and Ruler Apparatus
Procedure 1 . To obtain a representative sample, take samples from two or more regular intervals throughout the discharge of the mixer or truck. DO NOT take samples at the beginning or the end of the discharge. 2 . Dampen inside of cone and place it on a smooth, moist, non-absorbent, level surface large enough to accommodate both the slumped concrete and the slump cone. Stand or, foot pieces throughout the test procedure to hold the cone firmly in place. 3. Fill cone 1/3 full by volume and rod 25 times with steel tamping rod. Distribute rodding evenly over the entire cross section of the sample.
Procedure 4. Fill cone 2/3 full by volume. Rod this layer 25 times with rod penetrating into, but not through first layer. Distribute rodding evenly over the entire cross section of the layer. 5 . Fill cone to overflowing. Rod this layer 25 times with rod penetrating into but not through, second layer. Distribute rodding evenly over the entire cross section of this layer. 6 . Remove the excess concrete from the top of the cone, using tamping rod as a screed. Clean overflow from base of cone. 7. Immediately lift cone vertically with slow, even motion. Do not jar the concrete or tilt the cone during this process. Invert the withdrawn cone, and place next to, but not touching the slumped concrete. (Perform in 5-10 seconds with no lateral or torsional motion.)
Procedure 8 . Lay a straight edge across the top of the slump cone. Measure the amount of slump in inches from the bottom of the straight edge to the top of the slumped concrete at a point over the original center of the base. The slump operation shall be completed in a maximum elapsed time of 2 1/2 minutes. Discard concrete. DO NOT use in any other tests. Ruler Slump Slump Cone
Slump Test Testing tip : Since concrete setting is time and temperature dependent, this test must be started within 5 minutes after obtaining the composite sample and completed within 2 ½ minutes after the filling process begins.
Water-cement ratio [w/c] or water cementitious material ratio [w/( c+p )] The required water cement ratio is determined not only by strength requirements but also by factors such as durability. Since different aggregates, cements and cementitious materials will produce different strength at the same w/c ratio, it is highly desirable to have or develop the relationship between strength and w/c ratio for the materials actually to be used. In the absence of such data, approximate and relatively conservative values for concrete containing Type I portland cement can be taken from table.

Maximum size of aggregate Large nominal maximum sizes of well graded aggregates have less voids than smaller sizes. Hence, concrete with the larger-sizes well graded aggregates requires less mortar per unit volume of concrete. Generally, the nominal maximum size of aggregate should be the largest that is economically available and consistent with dimensions of the structure. In no event should the nominal maximum size exceed one-fifth of the narrowest dimension between sides of forms , one-third the depth of slabs , nor three-fourths of the minimum clear spacing between individual reinforcing bars, bundles of bars or pre-tensioning strands.

Steel ratio r = As/ bd r max = . 75 r bal r min = 1.4/ fy Ratio of tension reinforcement *For flexure members, it should not exceed .75 of r balance *and not less than 1.4/ fy
Under Reinforced Section The steel provided in the beam is such that steel reach the limiting values of strain prior to concrete. This results in yielding of the steel and the steel could yield till it attains the ultimate strain at which point it breaks. Analysis and Design of beams
Over Reinforced Section The steel provided in the beam is such that concrete reach the limiting values of strain prior to steel. This results in breaking of concrete and since now there is no concrete present to take the compression the beam fails suddenly. The additional margin that we get in under reinforced section helps in prevention of a sudden failure and provide the necessary warning to the inhabitants of the building. Analysis and Design of beams
Singly Reinforced Beam Singly reinforced beam is one in which the main reinforcement is provided only in the tension zone and also here the ultimate bending moment is less than the limiting bending moment.
Doubly Reinforced Beam Occasionally, beams are restricted by space or aesthetic requirements to such extent the compression concrete should be reinforced with steel to carry compression.
T- Beam Reinforced concrete floor usually consist of slabs and beams, which are placed or poured monolithically. In this effect, the beam will have an extra width at the top (that is under compression) ca;; ed flanges.
Mu = Moment Capacity of beams
Shear Reinforcements
Shear Reinforcements Another type of beam failure other than bending failure is shear failure. Shear failures are very dangerous especially if it happens before flexure failure because they can occur without warning
Type of Stirrups
The design of bending members for shear is based on the assumption that concrete resist part of the shear and any excess over and above what the concrete could carry should be resisted by shear reinforcement which may take in several forms. Vertical stirrups Inclined or diagonal stirrups; and The main reinforcement bent at ends to act as inclined stirrups
Type of Shear Reinforcement According to Section 5.11.5.1 of the Code, shear reinforcement may consist of Stirrups perpendicular to axis of member, and Welded wire fabric with wires located perpendicular to axis of member
Exceptions Shear reinforcements shall be provided in all reinforced concrete flexural members except as follows: 1. slab and footings. 2. beams with any of the following: a total depth less than 250mm, 2.5 times the flange thickness or ½ the width of the web, whichever is greater. 3. in concrete joist construction 4. where Vu <
