Analysis Versus Design:
Analysis: Given a cross-section, fc , reinforcement sizes, location, fy compute
resistance or capacity
Design: Given factored load effect (such as Mu) select suitable section(dimensions, fc, fy, reinforcement, etc.)

H = Pressure or Weight Loads due to soil,ground water,etc.
F = Pressure or weight Loads due to fluids with well defined densities and controllable
maximum heights.
T = Effect of temperature, creep, shrinkage,
differential settlement, shrinkage compensating.
Factored Load Combinations Factored Load Combinations
U = 1.2 D +1.6 L Always check even if other load types are present.
U = 1.2(D + F + T) + 1.6(L + H) + 0.5 (Lr or S or R) U = 1.2D + 1.6 (Lr or S or R) + (L or 0.8W)
U = 1.2D + 1.6 W + 1.0L + 0.5(Lr or S or R) U = 0.9 D + 1.6W +1.6H
U = 0.9 D + 1.0E +1.6H

4. Concrete Cover
Why is cover needed?
[a] Bonds reinforcement to concrete
[b] Protect reinforcement against corrosion [c] Protect reinforcement from fire (over heating causes strength loss)
[d] Additional cover used in garages, factories, etc. to account for abrasion and wear.
