Course Description

This course covers design and evaluation of reinforced concrete structures in accordance with relevant code of practice. It focuses on the design of reinforced concrete structural members including beams, slabs, columns, foundations and shear walls. The students need to design and evaluate the reinforced concrete structural members. The course aims to provide knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary to address SDG 9.0 on industry, innovation and infrastructure, and SDG 11 on sustainable cities and communities including financial and technical assistance for sustainable and resilient buildings utilizing local materials.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Evaluate reinforced concrete structures for safety adequacy using relevant code of practice.
2 ) Design reinforced concrete structural members and frames using relevant code of practice for safety and economics consideration.
