Catalog Description

Mechanical behavior of concrete in uniaxial and multiaxial states of stress. Time dependent behavior of concrete. Mechanical behavior of reinforcing steel. Behavior and strength of uniaxially loaded members; confinement. Behavior and strength of members in pure bending. Behavior and strength of members under combined bending and axial load. Behavior and strength of members under combined shear and bending.

Course Objectives

This course aims to establish the basic principles of reinforced concrete structural member and system behavior, and to introduce the basic principles of the analytical methods and design procedures.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Describe the mechanical behavior of concrete and reinforcing steel under various stress states, including time-dependent effects,

2. Evaluate the safety and serviceability of reinforced concrete components based on relevant design codes,

3. Analyze the behavior of reinforced concrete beams and columns under axial loading, bending, shear, and their combinations,

4. Apply fundamental design philosophies, based on probabilistic and limit-state approaches, in the design of reinforced concrete beams and columns in accordance with relevant codes, i.e., TE-500-2000, ACI 318,

5. Design various types of reinforced concrete beams for flexure and shear, and reinforced concrete columns for axial load, flexural and shear by addressing the slenderness effect,

6. Construct interaction diagrams for reinforced concrete column sections under combined axial load and flexure.
