Credit* 4
Course Learning Outcomes* At the end of the course, students are able to:
1. Identify and select structural systems for normal reinforced concrete
building.
2. Analyse continuous beams and sub-frame structures under vertical
and lateral loads with utilising the action of moment re-distribution at
ULS.
3. Identify and design the different types of floor slabs, columns,
cantilever retaining walls and foundation systems.
4. Explain the requirements of serviceability limit states and hence
calculate the short term and long term deflection and crack widths in
concrete beams.
5. Prepare complete detailed drawings for beams, slabs, columns and
foundation structures.
Transferable Skills Critical thinking, problem solving and design skills
