Course Objectives
Introduction of the basic behavior of RC members, discussion of the ultimate strength of RC members, treatment of the most common problems in CE practice, thus, to familiarize the students with RC structures and to establish a suitable background for future studies.
Course Content
Mechanical behavior of concrete in uniaxial and multiaxial states of stress. Time dependent behavior of concrete. Mechanical behavior of reinforcing steel. Behavior and strength of uniaxially loaded members; confinement. Behavior and strength of members in pure bending. Behavior and strength of members under combined bending and axial load. Behavior and strength of members under combined shear and bending.
