THE BASIC SYSTEMS
(1) Concrete Framing
• Cast-in-place (CIP) Reinforced Concrete
• Cast-in-place (CIP) Post-tensioned Concrete
• Precast Prestressed Concrete

• To overcome this
weakness (?), steel
bars are embedded in
concrete to form a
composite material called
reinforced concrete.

• Reinforced concrete (RC) frames
consist of horizontal elements
(beams) and vertical elements
(columns) connected by rigid
joints.

The advantages
• The advantage of prestressed concrete include lower construction
costs; thinner slabs - especially important in high rise buildings
in which floor thickness savings can translate into additional floors
for the same (or lower) cost and fewer joints.

Concrete
• The cured concrete adheres and bonds to the bars and when the
tension is released it is transferred to the concrete as compression
by static friction.

• Structural steel is in many ways the ideal
construction material in that it has nearly
limitless applications, if its shortcomings –
susceptibility to corrosion and intense heat –
are properly accounted for in the design
process.
