Concrete Structures Design

(2 Credits)

This course offers a detailed treatment of the design of reinforced concrete members. Topics include: material properties of reinforced concrete, American Concrete Institute (ACI) load and resistance factors; flexural design of beams and one-way slabs; shear and diagonal tension in beams; serviceability and reinforcement detailing; and design of reinforced concrete columns. The course includes a design project in which students work in groups to simulate and solve specific design problems using structural analysis and design software.
