Unit 1 Reinforced Concrete Structures 钢筋混凝土结构 教学目标 了解钢筋混凝土的力学性能 了解采用混凝土结构的优缺点 了解国外建筑规范的发展历史 熟悉钢筋混凝土结构中的专业词汇 熟悉科技类文献的常用句型 熟悉institute、association、society的用法；regulation、specification、code的用法；result in、give rise to、lead to的用法；reinforcing bar、reinforcing steel、steel bar、reinforcement的含义；involve、include、cover的用法；due to、stem from、because of的用法；construction、function、compressive、allow、form的不同含义。 Concrete and reinforced concrete are used as building materials in every country. In many, including the United States and Canada, reinforced concrete is a dominant（主要的） structural material in engineered construction（建造的建筑物）. The universal（通用的）nature of reinforced concrete construction stems from（归因于）the wide availability of reinforcing bars（钢筋）and the constituents（组成部分）of concrete, gravel,sand, and cement, the relatively simple skills required in concrete construction（施工）, and the economy（经济性）of reinforced concrete compared to other form of construction. Concrete and reinforced concrete are used in bridges, buildings of all sorts（各种各样）, underground structures, water tanks, television towers, offshore oil exploration and production structures（近海石油开采和生产结构）, dams, and even in ships. 混凝土与钢筋混凝土作为建筑材料在每个国家被使用着。在很多国家，包括美国和加拿大，钢筋混凝土是建造的建筑物中主要的结构材料。钢筋混凝土建筑物通用的特性归因于能大量得到钢筋和混凝土的组分（即碎石、砂和水泥），混凝土施工需要相对简单的技术，以及与其他形式的建筑相比钢筋混凝土的经济性。混凝土与钢筋混凝土用于桥梁、各种房屋、地下结构、水箱、电视塔、近海石油开采和生产结构、大坝甚至船舶。 Mechanics of Reinforced Concrete钢筋混凝土的力学 Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension. As a result, cracks develop（形成）whenever（每当）loads, or restrained shrinkage（收缩限制）or temperature changes, give rise to（导致）tensile stresses in excess of（超过）the tensile strength of the concrete. In the plain concrete（素混凝土）beam, the moments due to applied loads are resisted by an internal tension-compression couple（拉压力偶）involving tension in the concrete. Such a beam fails very suddenly and completely when the first crack forms. In a reinforced concrete beam, steel bars（钢筋）are embeded in the concrete in su
