Description
This Course is offered to 7th semester General and Structural Majors
The course presents the mechanics and limit states design procedures of reinforced concrete floor and hall systems subjected to different dead and live loads. It focuses on the structural design strategy in practice based on the code considerations related to development and detailing of reinforcement and member sizing. This course requires good knowledge and skills of the structural analysis methods, the methods of load calculations, and the main principles of RC design as presented in the two earlier RC design courses. It provides the students with practical analysis and design tools that are currently used by the design codes for reinforced concrete structures, and permits them to improve their design skills by providing detailed calculation notebook for practical problems. It also prepares the students for the advanced courses in the areas of structural mechanics and design. The course contributes to the knowledge and skills required by the civil engineers in the following topics of engineering science and design: Flat slab systems; Ribbed slab systems using hollow blocks; Panelled beams systems for large floors and halls; Design and detailing of frames, arches, and trusses for large halls.
