Course Objectives
The design of reinforced concrete structures involving many uncertainities is introduced to the students. The objective of the class is to guide the students in the design cycle of reinforced concrete structures while improving their decision making.
Course Content
Structural design process, safety, loads, structural systems: framed, wall and combined structures. Design of one-way, two-way slabs, flat plates, beams, columns, and walls. Structural modeling, earthquake resistant design, reinforcement detailing. Preparation of design reports and structural drawings.
Course Learning Outcomes
- Assess the design goals of safety, serviceability and economy for reinforced concrete structures
- Determine the loads on the structures for the dead, live, wind, snow and earthquake load combinations
- Design of the structural system of a typical reinforced concrete building
- Use of computer modeling to assess the design demands on buildings
- Use of hand calculations to assess the design demands on buildings
- Design of columns in a typical reinforced concrete building considering second order effects
- Design of a shear wall in a typical reinforced concrete building
- Use of effective communication tools such as oral presentations, report writing and discussions through electronic communication
- Learning and avoiding the pitfalls of design and analyses
