This course covers the following topics: reinforced concrete material properties; limit state design concepts; introduction to European design standards (i.e. Eurocodes 1 and 2); analysis of frames and shear wall structures; analysis of sections in bending and/or axial loads; yield line and strip methods for slabs; behavior and design of reinforced concrete beams, one-way slabs and two-way slabs considering flexure, shear, anchorage, curtailment and serviceability requirements; behavior and design of short and slender columns under combined bending and axial loads.

CILO-1: Recognize the design philosophy of reinforced concrete structures. [POs: a,c] CILO-2: Apply techniques and computer software to analyze reinforced concrete structural systems under gravity and lateral loads. [POs: a,e,l] CILO-3: Identify the typical failure modes of reinforced concrete members, and determine appropriate approaches to calculate the design strength for each typical failure mode. [POs: a,c,e] CILO-4: Apply the principles, procedures and current code requirements to the analysis and design of reinforced concrete beams, slabs and columns. [POs: a,c,e] CILO-5: Work in groups in the solution of analysis and/or design problems and adequately present technical information of engineering solutions. [POs: d,g]
