Software Engineering Concepts: A Comprehensive Guide
What is a Module?
A program unit that is discrete and identifiable with respect to compiling, combining with other units, and loading.
What is Modularity?
The degree to which a system or computer program is composed of discrete components such that a change to one component has minimal impact on other components.
Modular Programming
A software development technique in which software is developed as a collection of modules.
Benefits of Modular Programming
- Managerial
- Product flexibility
- Comprehensibility

Placement of Reinforcing
Concrete is weak in resistance to tensile forces. Reinforcing is used primarily to resist tension and thus prevent cracking or failure of the concrete member under tension.
Tension May Be Induced By:
- Shrinkage of concrete as it hardens
- Temperature changes
- Bending and shear forces
Concrete Cover for Reinforcing Steel
To provide protection of reinforcing steel against corrosion and fire, a minimum cover of concrete must be furnished. Engineer to specify. Recommended cover:
- Slabs/walls

Concrete is weak in resistance to tensile forces. Reinforcing is used primarily to resist tension and thus prevent cracking or failure of the concrete member under tension.
Tension may be induced by:
- Shrinkage of concrete as it hardens
- Temperature changes
- Bending and shear forces
To provide protection of reinforcing steel against corrosion and fire, a minimum cover of concrete must be furnished. The engineer will specify the required cover. Recommended cover:
- Slabs/walls not exposed
