    Study Notes

    Introduction to Reinforced Concrete

    • Concrete is a mixture of aggregates (gravel, crushed rock, or sand) and a cement-water paste.
    • Reinforced concrete combines concrete's compressive strength with steel's tensile strength.

    Notations & Symbols

    • Dead Load (D): Load due to the weight of the structure itself.
    • Live Load (L): Load due to occupancy, movable objects, and the like.
    • Wind Load (W): Load due to wind pressure.
    • Earthquake Load (E): Load due to earthquake ground motion.
    • Area of Bar (A): Cross-sectional area of reinforcing steel bars.
    • Diameter of Bar (d, D): Diameter of the steel bar.
