On completion of the course, students are able to:
1. Explain the underlying concepts and behaviour of reinforced concrete
as structural material.
2. Apply the elastic method to design simple reinforced concrete beams.
3. Design simple r.c structural elements such as beam, slabs, colums
and footing using the Limit State Method
4. Produce simple calculations, drawings and detailing of reinforced
concrete structures.
Problem solving, critical thinking and design skills
Concept of reinforced concrete (r.c.) design. Introduction to the design of
rectangular r.c. beam using the elastic method. Differences in the design
approaches based on the elastic and limit state methods. Analysis and
design of rectangular and flanged r.c. beams to resist flexure using the
Limit State approach. Design of shear reinforcements for r.c. beams.
Controlling deflections and crackings in r.c. beams. Simple curtailments,
anchorages and detailings of r.c. structures. Design of one way r.c. slabs.
Design of simple r.c.columns. Design of simple r.c.footings.
