Design of Concrete Structure (1) CIVL 3322

Course description:

The course introduces to the students the reinforced concrete, design approaches and codes, sections under flexure and shear, design and detailing of singly reinforced rectangular beams, doubly reinforced rectangular beams, Tbeams. Shear and diagonal tension in beams, bond, anchorage and development length, and oneway slabs, stairs, design of columns under concentric loading, design project with discussion of current building practice.

Course Aims:

  • Cover properties of reinforced concrete materials, components, loads, design codes, and structural systems.                                               Design of reinforced concrete beams (Rectangular and T section) for shear and moment.
  •  Design of continuous beams and oneway slabs (single span and continuous).
  •  Design short columns under concentric loading. 
  •  Proportion footings and design axially loaded footings 
  •  Calculate termination of reinforcement and layout reinforcement to satisfy Code requirements.                                                                   
  • Explain method related to the calculation of the structural capacity of reinforced concrete components associated with different failure modes, including axial compression, flexure, shear and torsion.
  •  Evaluate the need to provide shear and torsion reinforcement.

Course outcomes:

Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
  •  Carry out analysis and design of singly reinforced concrete beams.
  •  Carry out analysis and design of doubly reinforced concrete beams
  •  Carry out analysis and design of continuous beams and oneway slabs (single span and continuous).
  •  Design short columns 
  •  Proportion footings and design axially loaded footings 
  •  Calculate termination of reinforcement and layout reinforcement to satisfy Code requirements. 
  •  Evaluate the need to provide shear and torsion reinforcement.
