CONCRETE STRUCTURES II
Deflections under short duration and sustained loads; compression members with emphasis on stability and secondary bending moments; two-way slab systems; prestressed concrete including prestress losses; design of shear walls, special topics in strut and tie modelling, compression field theory and design for torsion may be covered; flexure analysis; design of sections; and shear strength.
