Stress strain curve for concrete – Standard concrete mixes for RCC works – types of Reinforcements – plain and deformed bars–Stress – strain curve for reinforcing steel – Type of Loads on Structures and Load combinations- Code of practices and Specifications-Design philosophy – Basic design concepts – working stress, ultimate load and limit state methods-Advantages of Limit State Method over other methods. Characteristic load and strength–permissible stresses – partial safety factors – limit state of collapse– limit state of Serviceability – Durability limit state – deflection and cracking – modification factors.

Design of singly and doubly reinforced rectangular and flanged beams – Behaviour of R.C. beams in shear, Bond and Anchorage –– Design requirements as per current code - Limit State design of rectangular RC beams in shear and torsion. Design of RC members for combined Bending, Shear and Torsion. Serviceability requirements

Behaviour of one way and two-way slabs – Design of simply supported, cantilever and continuous slabs using IS code. Types of Staircases–Design of dog-legged Staircase

Types of columns – Design of rectangular and circular columns for axial load – Design of short columns subjected to axial load and uniaxial / biaxial bending - Interaction charts. Design of slender columns subjected to biaxial bending.
