 The use of RC construction in the modern world stems from the wide availability of its ingredients – reinforcing steel as well as concrete. Except for the production of steel and cement, the production of concrete does not require expensive manufacturing mills. But, construction with concrete does require a certain level of technology, expertise and workmanship, particularly in the field during construction. Despite this need for sophistication and professional inputs, a large number of single-family houses or low-rise residential buildings across the world have been and are being constructed using RC without any engineering assistance. Such buildings, in seismic areas, are potential death traps. This is the motivation behind developing this tutorial.
