Advanced Topics in Reinforced Concrete Design

Catalog description

This is a graduate level class on advanced design of RC members that aims to introduce advanced analysis and design skills for special reinforced concrete elements, which are beyond the scope of common undergraduate reinforced concrete design courses, yet essential for professional practitioner. Topics will include analysis of doubly reinforced RC sections and sections of irregular shapes with application of the strain compatibility approach, design for the combined shear and torsion stresses, full analysis, design, and detailing of continuous RC beams including deflection calculation, analysis and design of two-way slabs, slender columns, footings under eccentric load, and introduction to prestressed concrete. Components: Class Prereqs/Coreqs: P: CIVILENG 4150 or receive consent from the instructor. Student must be in the Structural Engineering emphasis to enroll in course or consent of the Program Coordinator/Instructor. Typically Offered: Fall
