AE 746 - Reinforced Concrete Structure Design3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course presents the design of reinforced concrete floors. The course covers systems from pan joists to two way slabs and flat plate floors. ACI code provisions are studied. Designs derived from the ACI Direct Design and Equivalent Frame method are compared with those from commercial structural design software. Design topics include minimum thicknesses, rebar selection and placement, and connection design. (prereq: AE 740 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Familiar will the ACI code provisions and engineering methods needed to design any of the common concrete floor systems: Pan joist, wide pan, flat slab and flat plate with conventional reinforcement
Prerequisites by Topic
- A previous high level concrete class equivalent to AE 401 or AE 740
Course Topics
- ACI code provisions for pan joist floors
- Designing a pan joist floor for shear and moment
- Wide pan code considerations
- ACI code provisions for flat slab floors
- The Direct Design and Equivalent Frame method
- ACI code provisions for flat plate floors
- Introduction to posttensioned floor design
