The document outlines key concepts relating to reinforced concrete including understanding steel reinforcement, the types and effects of loads on concrete, calculating load values, bending and shear effects on beams, shear behavior in concrete, characteristics of columns and slabs, durability of concrete, formwork systems, and material handling of concrete. It also specifies important exam questions and laboratory tests to review regarding the workability and properties of different types of concrete.

Understand steel reinforcement
Efficient systems of concrete
Admixtures of concrete (know examples and what they do) Flyash (what it is and benefits) Know 4 additives Different types of load (dead, live) Calculations of loads (weight of concrete and calculating the load of a 200ml slab) Concrete beams( bending effects, shear effects and working out stress) What contributes to shear, shear behaviour, shear cracking Concrete columns Critical aspects Stress contributions Stress diagram (know it and what it means) Know silica as an additive (benefits and use)
Post tension slabs Concept Where it is used Post tension systems Conventional formwork Durability of concrete Concrete frame Flat slab Adding extra reinforcement bars Form work systems(application, cost etc.) Material handling of concrete (e.g. concrete pump) Know questions 2,7,8,9 form 2011 exam Know your labs and the tests you done, you need to know what kind of concrete is more workable what wet is used for what dry is used for etc.
