Course Objective

The aim of this course is to provide the students with knowledge about physical and mechanical properties of concrete and its components; fundamentals of reinforced concrete design, the behavior of reinforced concrete, explaining the structural (flexural and shear) design of beams (simply reinforced, double-reinforced and T- beams in pure bending) and columns (axially and eccentrically loaded) and also to associate and integrate these concepts with architectural design applications.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
