Learning outcomes
This course is conceived to provide the students with a clear application of the reinforced concrete design in computer environment with programming. The presentation of a detailed theory of the reinforced concrete is integrated with a detailed step-by-step programming. 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 reinforced concrete and 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. Concept of plasticity in RC members is assess by the student. The structural assessment together with basic strengthening design principles by using FRP is incorporated.
