Course Learning Outcomes* 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

concrete structures.

Transferable Skills Problem solving, critical thinking and design skills

Synopsis of Course Contents 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.
