What is Gross Area of Concrete?

The Gross area of concrete, when the area of longitudinal reinforcement is established, is defined as the total cross-sectional area of the column including reinforcement.

What is Longitudinal Reinforcement?

Longitudinal bars are the vertical bars, which are in the vertical alignment within the column and horizontal alignment in the slab and beam. They resist bending forces in beam, axial compression in the column and bending stress in slab.
