Advanced Topics in Reinforced Concrete Design

3 Units

This course aims to develop a clear understanding of advanced topics in reinforced concrete (RC) structural design. We aim to cover topics in the analysis and design of slender columns, deep beams, shear walls, two-way slabs, and RC members subject to torsion. Also, strut-and-tie models, design for earthquake resistance, and practical considerations in the RC design will be discussed. Students will practice their acquired knowledge and develop teamwork design experience through a term project. Prereq: ECIV 373 or Requisites Not Met permission.
