A system of steel bars strands or wires for absorbing tensile shearing and sometimes the compressive stresses in a concrete

Reinforcement

Usually specified by a number equivalent to its diameter

Reinforcing bar/rebar

Reinforcing bar hot rolled with surface deformations to develop a greater bond with concrete

Deformed bar

Rc design to absorb tensile stress

Tension reinforcement

Rc design to absoarb compressive stresses

Compression reinforcement

The amount of concrete required to protect steel reinforcement from fire and corrosion measured from the outer surface of the c.section

Cover

Constructed of cement sand mortar ovee a wire mesh that has been pre shaped over a mold

Ferrocement

Gfrc meaning??

Glass-fiber-reinforced concrete

Welded wire fabric

Frid of longitudinal and transverse steel wires or bars welded together

Mesh of cold drawn steel wires mechanically twisted together to form hexagonally shaped

Woven wire fabric

A concrete section in which the tension reinforcement theoretically reaches its specified yield strength as the concrete im compression reaches its assumed ultimates strain

Balanced section

A concrete section in which the concrete in compression reaches its assumed ultimate strain before the tension reinforcement reaches its specified yield strength. Dangerous condition since failure to section could occur instaneously without warning

Overreinforced section

Any various means such as embedment lenght or hooked bars

Anchorage

Standard hook


90 degree


135


180

Longitudinal bar bent up or down at points of moment reversal in a reinforced concrete beam

Truss bar

Any longitidinal bars serving as tension rc in the sectionof a concrete beam or slab subject to a negative moment

Top bar

Rc consisting of bent bars or stirruos placed in a concrete beam to resist diagonal tension

Web reinforcement

Monolithic reinforcement concrete construction in which a portion of the slab on each side of a beam acts as a flange in resisting compressive stresses

T beam

Longitudinal reinforcement placed in a concrete to absorb compressive stresses. Resist bemding stresses and reduce the effect of creep and shrinkage in the column

Vertical reinforcement

A butt splice made by connecting the butted ends of 2 rc bars with mechanical fastener such a sleeve clamp

Compression splice

Tied column

Spiral column

A structural steel section thoroughly encased om cincrete reinforced with both vertical and spiral reinforcemnt

Composite column

Rigid planar structure of concrete designed to act together withbprincipal and secondary reinforcement in resisting applied forces

Reinforced concrete slab

Rc designed to absorb the stresses from applied loads and moment

Principal reinforcement/main bar

Rc placed perpendicular to the main bars in a one way slab to absoarb the stresses

Shrinkage rc./temperature bar

A thin layer of high quality concrete placed over a concrete base to form a floor surface

Topping

A concrete slab of uniform thickness reinforced in one direction and cast integrally with parallel supporting beams. Suitable for short span

One way slab

One way slab supported by secondary beams

Beam and girder slab

A rc slab cast integrally withba series of closely spaced joists which inturn are supported by parallel set of beams.

Ribbed slab/joist slab

Designed as a seriea of parallel T beams and economical for medium to spans with light to medium live loads

A concrete slab of uniform thickness reinforced in two directions and cast integrally with supporting edge beams or bearing walls on four sides

Two way slab

Rc slab extending as a structural unit over three or more supports in a given direction.

Continuous slab

Subject to lower bending moment than a series of discrete simply supported slab

Reusable metal or fiberglass mold used in forming a ribbed slab

Pan

The potentially high shearing stress developed by the reactive force of a column on rc slab

Punching shear

A concrete slab of uniform thickness reinforced in 2or more directions and support directly by columns without beams and girders

Flat plate

The overstressed region of a rc slab at a column support

Shear head

A flat plate thickened at its column supports to increase its shear strenght and moment resisting capacity.

Flat slab

Drop panel

Column capital

A portion of rc slab bounded on all sides by the centerlines of column beams and walls

Panel

Panel strip


Middle strip


Column strip

A panel of flat slab having at least one edge that does not adjoin another panel

exterior panel

Any panel of flat slab adjoining other panels along four edges

Interior panel

A two way concrete slab reinforced by ribs in two directions able to carry heacier loads and longer span distances than the flat slaba

Waffle slab

A squre metal or fiber glass pan used in forming the ribs of a waffle slab

Dome

A concrete member or product that is cast and cured in a place other than where itis to be installed in a structure

Precast concrete

A precast prestressed concrete slab having a broad T shaped cross section

Single tee

A precast prestressed ledger beam having a cross section resembling an interval capital letter L

Inverted tee

Concrete reinforced by pretensioning or post tensioning high strenght steel tendons within their elastic limit to activel resist a service load

Prestressed concrete

To introduce internal stresses to a concrete member in order to counteract the stresses that will result from an applied load

Prestress

To prestress a concrete member by tensioning the reinforcing tendons before the concrete is cast

Pretension

High strength steel strand or bar for prestressing concrete

Tendon

A long horizontal slab on which a number of pretensioned concrete members maybe prestressed formed and cast simutaneously

Casting bed

A hydraulic device for stretching and stressing tendons in the prestressing of a concrete member

Jack

The tensile force in the reinforcement tendons transferred to a concrete member at the time of stressing

Initial prestress

To prestress a concrete member by tensioning the reinforcing tendons aftee the concrete has set

Post tension
