CAE 3521 - Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures

• Analyze cast-in-place, reinforced concrete elements to determine the internal forces in members from external loads and member deflections
• Calculate the moment-curvature behavior of reinforced concrete sections subjected to flexure and apply the behavior for the design of reinforced concrete beams and one-way slabs for flexural strength
• Design reinforced concrete beams and one-way slabs for flexural, shear, and torsional strength, and detail for serviceability and construction
• Design and detail reinforced concrete spread footings to support axial loads
• Design and detail reinforced concrete columns and walls for axial and flexural loads
• Evaluate the moment magnification in non-sway, reinforced concrete columns
• Integrate the behavior and design of individual members into the design of an overall structure
• Evaluate the fundamental principles underlying the reinforced concrete building code and what drives changes in the building code

• Static analysis of beams and frames
• Structural loadings and load paths

• Introduction to reinforced concrete structures
