Course Description
This course introduces the properties of concrete and reinforcing steel, focusing on their application in the design of reinforced concrete structures. It emphasizes the principles of limit-state design in compliance with building code requirements (SBC and ACI), alongside ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering solutions. The course covers loads and load combinations acting on reinforced concrete structures and the analysis and design of beams for flexural stresses, including rectangular beams, T-beams, and doubly-reinforced beams. It also includes the design of beams against shear and torsion forces, bond and development length considerations (including splices and cut-off points), and reinforcement detailing. Students will learn to analyze, design, and detail reinforcement for one-way and two-way solid slabs and design columns subjected to axial loads, focusing on short tied and spiral columns.
