CIVL-2017Reinforced Concrete Design 1
In this course, students will learn how to ensure that reinforced concrete beams, slabs and columns can safely resist applied shear, bending moment and axial loads. Reinforcing details such as required spacing, minimum and maximum reinforcing limits, and suitable arrangements for column ties will be studied. Students will be able to predict cracking and identify the purpose of each different type of reinforcing used in columns and floor systems. Design tools will be introduced, including spreadsheets and tips for making preliminary estimates.
