Particulate reinforced composites are being used in many aerospace and non-aerospace applications. Such composites can be used as dual or multi-phase materials as well as matrix materials in a continuous fiber reinforced composite. This paper presents a set of micromechanics equations for particulate reinforced composite materials. These equations are then used in conjunction with a composite mechanics computer code that is based on composite micro and macromechanics equations, to design/size reinforced concrete sections. The examples presented show the effectiveness and flexibility of using composite mechanics codes to size the reinforced concrete sections.
