AE 740 - Reinforced Concrete Member Design

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course presents the fundamental behavior and design of reinforced concrete members. Topics include design and detailing of reinforced concrete beams and columns for flexure, shear, torsion, and axial forces. (prereq: graduate standing)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• understand the moment-curvature behavior of reinforced concrete sections
• understand the design of singly reinforced, doubly reinforced concrete beams and one-way slabs
• understand the design of non-rectangular members for flexure
• understand the design and detailing of members for shear and torsion
• understand the design and detailing of development of reinforcement in concrete
• understand the behavior of concrete sections subjected to axial and flexural loads
• understand the design and detailing of non-slender and slender reinforced concrete columns
• be introduced to pre-cast, pre-stressed concrete
Prerequisites by Topic
