Two commands that correspond to those actions are reload and reset. You can run them from the command line using i3-msg. Just run one of the lines below:

i3-msg reload
i3-msg restart

You can always look up what command is executed for a given key (or key combo) in your i3 config. I also recommend the excellent i3 user guide.
