CI 285 - Reinforced Concrete Design

Credit Hours: 3

A basic course in concrete design, dealing with the general properties of reinforced concrete; the design of reinforced concrete beams, girders, and floor slabs; the design of columns subjected to axial and eccentric loads and the design of columns and wall footings. Ultimate strength theory is used per the latest A.C.I. building code requirements for reinforced concrete. Digital computers are used for problem-solving.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

examine the mechanics used in the design of structural concrete systems;
understand the influence of concrete materials in the engineering and design of concrete systems; and
learn the fundamental behavior of structural concrete and the principles behind select code provisions.
