Learning outcomes
This course is conceived to provide the students with a clear application of the reinforced concrete design. The presentation of a detailed theory of the reinforced concrete is integrated with a detailed step-by-step solution of the provided examples. A proper emphasis is placed on both theory and examples to make advanced subject matter simply accessible to students. In this course, prior knowledge of the basic mechanics is assumed. Then, the theory of advanced concrete structures is incorporated.
Student is able to design RC parts and members under various loading regime.
Prerequisites
A basic knowledge in mechanics
