Advanced Structural Concrete Design

3 credits · Graduate

The course presents advanced analysis and design methods for reinforced concrete members subject to torsion, as well as axial, flexure, and shear stresses. The procedures are applied to stairs and beams curved in plan. Advanced concepts of yield line analysis for slabs and strut-and-tie model for deep beams are discussed. Additional topics include design and detailing of prestressed concrete members, concrete building systems, seismic design of concrete structures, and innovative design solutions for high-performance precast/ prestressed concrete structures.
