Synopsis
This is a core course which will provide an understanding and ability to analyze and design reinforced concrete structural elements. Among the topics discussed are objective and methods of design, code of practice, analysis and design of sections for moments and shear, checking for deflection and cracking, durability and detailing requirements, design of simply supported and continuous beams, and design of one way and two way restrained simply supported slab. Furthermore the students will be exposed to the concept of prestressed concrete which covers topics on principle and methods of prestressing, stress limit, losses and selection of section.
