Catalog Description
General reinforced concrete (RC) behavior. Material behavior, time dependent behavior of concrete. Review on flexural behavior of RC members. Bi-axial bending. Moment-curvature relationship, plastic hinge, redistribution. Behavior and strength of members under combined shear and torsion. Floor systems - slabs; footings. Strut-and-tie method. Serviceability and detailing.
Course Objectives
The objective of this course is to establish a reasonable background in reinforced concrete for those students who are inclined towards structural engineering.
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, a student will be able to:
1. Interpret linear and nonlinear response phases of materials used in the production of RC structures and employ appropriate material models for short- and long-term response analyses of RC members;
2. Analyze RC members to construct their short- and long-term moment-curvature response;
3. Design RC members subjected to combined flexure, shear and torsion;
4. Analyze and design floor systems;
5. Analyze and design spread, combined and continuous footings;
6. Construct viable S&T Models to analyze and design disturbed regions;
7. Assess the requirements leading to serviceable design and choose proper reinforcement detailing schemes applicable to a particular design.
