Behavior Of Reinforced Concrete And Composite Structures

Catalog description

This course introduces advanced topics related to behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) and composite structures with emphasis on ductility of members and reinforcement detailing for seismic loads. Topics that are introduced in this course include flexural behavior of RC beams, design of two-way slabs using the direct design method and equivalent frame method, analysis and design concrete encased composite members including both beams and columns, axial behavior of concrete filled box columns, and the strut-and-tie model.
