Outline of this Manual
This Practical Design and Detailing Manual intends to outline practice of
detailed design and detailing of reinforced concrete work to the Code.
Detailing of individual types of members are included in the respective
sections for the types, though the Section 13 in the Manual includes certain
aspects in detailing which are common to all types of members. The
underlying principles in some important aspects in design and detailing have
been selectively discussed. Design examples, charts are included, with
derivations of approaches and formulae as necessary.
As computer methods have been extensively used nowadays in analysis and
design, the contents as related to the current popular analysis and design
approaches by computer methods are also discussed. The background theory
of the plate bending structure involving twisting moments, shear stresses, and
design approach by the Wood Armer Equations which are extensively used by
computer methods are also included an Appendix (Appendix D) in this
Manual for design of slabs, pile caps and footings.
To make distinctions between the equations quoted from the Code and the
equations derived in this Manual, the former will be prefixed by (Ceqn) and
the latter by (Eqn).
Unless otherwise stated, the general provisions and dimensioning of steel bars
are based on ribbed steel reinforcing bars with 500 f y N/mm2
.
Design charts for beams, columns and walls are based on the more rigorous
stress strain relationship of concrete comprising a rectangular and a parabolic
portion as indicated in Figure 3.8 of the Code.
