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.

Design of wall footing – Design of axially and eccentrically loaded square and rectangular column footings – Types of combined footing - Design of combined rectangular footings for two columns only- Design concepts of strap footing, raft/mat foundation.
