This course is the fourth in a series on the topic of reinforced concrete design following the American Concrete Institute's Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-11). Fundamentals of flexural design and analysis of T-shaped cross sections and rectangular beams with tension and compressions reinforcement are presented.

Learning Outcomes-

Discussion and examples illustrate the behavior, principles, and calculations necessary to:
1. Apply the ACI Code provisions for effective flange width of T-beams
2. Use the equivalent rectangular stress block to determine the factored moment resistance of a singly reinforced T-beam cross section
3. Use the equivalent rectangular stress block and the strain diagram to determine the factored moment resistance of a beam cross section with tension and compression reinforcement
4. Select a target value of net tensile strain and determine the areas of tension and compression reinforcement required to provide the desired moment resistance
5. Calculate net tensile strain and determine whether the tension reinforcement meets the ACI Code requirements for maximum and minimum reinforcement

Target Audience: This course is designed for engineers seeking a presentation of basic principles of reinforced concrete design. Level of material presented is comparable to a senior-level university course. Engineers who are changing focus of their careers or who only occasionally design flexural members will find this course of particular interest.
