The following PRACTICAL TIPS are from my longexperience with the construction industry both inIndia and abroad.
The tips are only on Concrete and its designprinciple.

2)SULPHATE RESISTING CEMENT is considered
INEFFECTIVE in an environment where both
Sulphates and Chlorides are present.
Reason: SRC has alow content of C3A to reduce theinfluence of Sulphate
attack. But in environment with both sulphates andchlorides, the C3A in
the cement reacts preferentially with the Sulphatesand enough C3A is left to bind the chlorides.

3)The basic mechanical properties for
Structural design for steel reinforcementare:
a) The characteristic yield strength
b) Ultimate tensile strength
c) Elongation

4) Why Fe500 and above grade of steel
reinforcing bars are not allowed for memberssubject to SEISMIC forces?
Reason: The bars having yield strength higherthan 500N/mm2tend to possess lowerpercentage elongation which is not acceptablefor Seismic prone structures since plastic hingeformation is not possible.

5)Do you know that:
For steel bars to loose one mm diameter due tocorrosion, it takes about 12.5 years. But due to
practical reasons the number of years reducesdue to hostile corrosive environment.
For 6mm dia. To corrode completely it takes
about 75 years.

6)Cracking levels depend on,
d) tensile strength of concrete.
e) The cover thickness.
f) The diameter of rebar &
g) Rate of corrosion.
7)Corrosion takes place only in the presence
of MOISTURE & OXYGEN.

8)The relation between the cube strength
& cylinder strength is
fc=0.8 fck where fc= cylinder strength,
fck= cube strength.
8/11/2019 Steel Details -Jamal
11/49
9)The static Modulus Ec(Mpa) in terms of
characteristic cube strength fck(Mpa) ,
Ec=5000fck N/mm2,(IS code), Ec=0.04273fc (ACI code),
=4500fck where =2400Kg/m3.

12) For normal density concrete thesplitting strength is about 2/3 of themodulus of rupture.
8/11/2019 Steel Details -Jamal
15/49
13)Modulus of rupture:
fcr=0.7 fck --IS CODE fck in N/mm2.
Fcr=0.623fcACI Code . Use of lower value of fcr will result in
more conservative (lower) estimate of
cracking moment.

14)Sherar strength: The strength of
concrete in PURE SHEAR has beenreported to be in the range of 10 to 20%
of its compressive strength.
8/11/2019 Steel Details -Jamal
17/49
15)Temperature and shrinkage causes
tensile forces in concrete.
8/11/2019 Steel Details -Jamal
18/49
16)CREEP: When concrete is subject to
sustained compressive loading , itsdeformation keeps increasing with time
and this time dependent component-(excluding strains introduced by shrinkageand temperature variations) of the total
strain is termed as CREEP.
8/11/2019 Steel Details -Jamal
19/49
17) Factors influencing creep:Creep increases when,
a) cement content is high,
b) w/c ratio is high,
c) aggregate content is low,
d) air entertainment is high,
e) relative humidity is low,
f) temperature (causing moisture loss) is high,
g) size / thickness of the member is small,
h) loading occurs at an early age &
i)loading is sustained over a long period.
8/11/2019 Steel Details -Jamal
20/49
18)Effect of creep:
Determental results in RC structures dueto creep:
a) increased deflection of beams and slabs.
b) Increased deflection of slender columns(possibly leading to buckling)
c) Gradual transfer of load from concrete to
reinforcing steel in compression members.
d) Loss of prestress in prestressed concrete.
8/11/2019 Steel Details -Jamal
21/49
19) In order to reduce the effect of creep-deflection it is advisable to use 0.2% ofcross sectional area at the compression
face.
8/11/2019 Steel Details -Jamal

20) Ultimate creep co-efficient ,
= 2.2 for age of loading at 7 days, = 1.6do- at 28 days,
= 1.1do- at one year.

21)Effective modulus of elasticity for
concrete, Ece=Ec/1+ . 22) Alternating drying and wet conditions
will cause alternating volume changes in
concrete. So, curing by this method is notrecommended.
Continuous curing is mandatory to get thebest results.

29)Hanger bars of nominal diameter used for the
purpose of holding stirrups DO NOT normally qualify
as Compression reinforcementunless the area ofsuch bars is greater than 0.2% of sectional area ofthe member.
30)Shall we use Fe500 grade of steel for stirrups toresist the shear forces?
No.Under clause c1.39.4, the IS code IS 456 limitsthe value of Fe 415Mpa as high strength
reinforcement may be rendered brittle at sharp bendsof the WEB reinforcement, also a shear compressionfailure could procede the yielding of the high strengthsteel.

31)The shear capacity of concrete shall not be
considered effective for members subject toSEISMIC forces and hence whole value shall
be resisted by closed vertical stirrups.
32)Shear Modulus G =0.4Ec

33)Torsional reinforcement is provided in the
form of closed stirrupsand Longitudinal
bars which are distributed around the crosssection, close to the periphery.
34)To achieve economy and importantly toget the ductility requirements the membersalways should be designed as UNDERREINFORCED section by limiting the Pt(the
ration of reinforcement steel area ) to 75% ofPt limit(Balalnced section).

37)To find the weight of the steel bars per
meter, mutiply by 0.006162timesdia^2.(Kg/m)
Example : to find weight of 25 mmbar/m=0.006162*25^2=3.85Kg/m
38)Is it good to apply epoxies on WET or
DAMP surfaces? No. Because the epoxies do
not bond on wet or damp surfaces.
8/11/2019 Steel Details -Jamal
34/49
39)For cantilever beams: Where
the main bars shall be placed? Topor bottom. If bottom, the memberwill collapse immediately after
removing the centering. It shouldbe placed on top as the tensionis on the top surface.
8/11/2019 Steel Details -Jamal
35/49
40)For cantilever beams: How will
be positioned the hooks of thestirrups in a cantilever beam? Is itat the top as usually done for beam
or at the bottom? It should be atbottom only since the hooks ifplaced at the top will open up whenit bends while it is tension state.

41) In frame analysis, centre line dimensions of beams
and columns are generally used to define the
geometry of frame line diagram. The BMobtained is on Centre line which has to be reduced
by Vb/3 . ie Ms-Vb/3 where Ms is the moment at
centre line and V is the shear at the centre line and bis the width of the column or beam. This enables to
get lesser steel area which aids in avoiding
congestion of reinforcement at the beam column
joint to some extent. (vide page 309RC DESIGNBy S.Unnikrishna Pillai and Devadas Menon.)
8/11/2019 Steel Details -Jamal
37/49
42) The shear also should be taken at a distance
of d the effective depth from the face of the
column or beam .
43) For all buildings which are more than 3
storeys in height, the min. grade of concreteshall be M20. (clause 5.2 of IS 13920:1993)

44) .It may be clarified that REDIRTIBUTIONof MOMENTSpermitted in IS 456:2000 will be
used only for VERTICAL LOADMOMENTS
AND NOTFOR LATERAL LOADMOMENTS.
(clause 6.2.4 of IS 13920:1993)
45) The contribution of bent up bars & inclinedhoops to shear resistance of the section shall
not beconsidered while designing against the
SEISMIC FORCES. (clause 6.3.4 of IS13920:1993)

51) Excess of Alumina and Silica in the clay: makes the brick brittle and weak,
makes the brick crack and wrap on drying.
Changes colour of the brick from red to yellow,
Improves the impermeability and durability ofthe brick
Leaves high powder deposit on the brick.
52) The shrinkage of ordinary concrete is 0.3to 0.6 mm/m.

54) Cracks are of live and dead . That is
moving and non moving cracks.
For moving cracks use always a material that
will accommodate the movement. Ex. Joint
sealant.
For rigidstructural cracks, use a materila thatwill add strength by bonding with the parent
member. Ex. Epoxies or cementitious
proprietary material
