Basics of RC Structural Elements

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.
