Basics of RC Structural Elements
Reinforced Concrete Structural Elements are mainly designed to achieve three following parameters:
1) Strength
2) Stiffness
3) Ductility
1) Strength in RC Sections mailny achieved by Material used in member such as Concrete & Steel.
2) Stiffness is achieved by the dimensions of section such as width & depth.
3) Ductility is achieved by the lateral ties & stirrups.
