partial safety factors for material & loading. Limit State of Flexure: Stress-strain characteristics
of concrete & reinforcing steel, Type of section-under reinforced, over reinforced & balance
section, Neutral Axis depth, Moment of Resistance for singly reinforced, doubly reinforced and
flanged sections. Limit state of Axial, Shear and Torsion, combined flexure & torsion, Bond &
Anchorage, Development length, splicing
3. Limit state design of RC structural Element: Design of Beams: Simply supported, cantilever
and continuous beams
4. Philosophy of Limit state design for Steel: Limit state of collapse & serviceability, partial
safety factor for material and loading, Type & behavior of sections – Plastic, compact, semi-
compact, slender. Connections: Bolted connections – bearing type, behavior of bolted joints,
