DESIGN OF RC STUCTURES:

Different Members of RCC Structures

Columns: columns are another important elements of RC structure. These concrete

elements are predominantly compression member and supports beams and slabs
(in case of flat slab). It is a vertical member carrying both axial loads and moment.
In any structure columns has important safety consideration. RC columns can be
design as short column or long column.

The ingredients of the reinforced concrete are cement, water, fine aggregates,
coarse aggregates and reinforcing bar. If concrete is special concrete then
admixture and or other cementitious materials are added.
Quality of concrete depends on the quality of these ingredients, mix proportion,
mixing procedure, compaction, placing, curing. Describe workability, segregation,
bleeding, strength etc. of concrete properties.
