REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN
• Design Methodologies• Allowable Stress or Working Stress
• Most popular method up to late 60’s & early 70’s
• Simplified Theory
• All loads treated equally
precast.org/education
REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN
• Design Methodologies• Load Factor or Ultimate Strength Design
• Design Strength > Required Strength
• FN (Nominal Strength) > U (Ultimate Strength)
• Ultimate = Factored
• Capacity > Demand
• Load factors vary by type of load
and design code, i.e. ACI or
AASHTO
precast.org/education
REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN
• Design Methodologies• Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)
• Multiple load types
• Multiple Limit States
• Based on a Complex
Reliability Model
• First AASHTO Edition 1993

REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN
• Typical Load Factors• Live Loads
• ACI 318 1.6
• ACI 318 (Appendix C) 1.7
• AASHTO 2.17
• Dead Loads
• ACI 318 1.2 (1.4 without Live Load)
• ACI 318 (Appendix C) 1.4
• AASHTO 1.3

REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN
• Strength Reduction Factor, F – A multiplier that reduces the capacity of the member for design purposes.
• ACI 318 & AASHTO• Moment = 0.90 (Box Culverts 1.0, 3-Sided 0.95)
• Shear = 0.75 (Appendix C & AASHTO = 0.85)
• Axial = 0.70
precast.org/education
REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN
• Terms• Force
• Shear – Is greatest near the support
• Flexure – Related to bending
• Axial – Typically related to columns
