Purpose. This manual provides guidance for designing reinforced concrete hydraulic structures by the strength DESIGN method. Plain concrete and prestressed concrete are not covered in this manual. 2. Applicability. This manual applies to all Headquarters, Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE)-commands having civil works responsibilities. The user of this Engineer Manual (EM) is responsible for seeking opportunities to incorporate the Environmental Operating Principles (EOPs) wherever possible.

control of corrosion of the reinforcement. Most RCHS are lightly reinforced structures (reinforcement ratios less than 1%) composed of thick walls and slabs that have limited ductility compared to the fully ductile behavior of reinforced concrete buildings (in which reinforcement ratios are typically 1% or greater). 1.1.2.
