AE 402Design of Concrete Structures for Buildings
This course provides students in the Structural option with an ability to analyze and design reinforced concrete members along with an understanding of their theoretical behavior. The primary focus is on the analysis and design of one-way systems composed of slabs, beams, and columns. By the end of the course, students will understand how design decisions are made; understand the theoretical behavior of reinforced concrete members and the effect of various design parameters on capacity; analyze and design reinforced concrete beams for flexure and shear, including the case of compression reinforcement of a flange; analyze and design reinforced concrete columns under axial loads and a combination of moment and axial load; construct simplified axial/flexure interaction diagrams for columns; understand concrete strength and serviceability characteristics; and read, interpret and apply American Concrete Institute building code provisions. A prerequisite knowledge of structural analysis is necessary.
