| Course Objectives: | The main objective of this course is to provide students with a rational basis of the design of reinforced concrete members and structures through advanced understanding of material and structural behavior. The subject will be approached by looking into the behavior of reinforced concrete at different levels: material level, element level and structural and systems level. For each level, various concepts will be introduced as listed below: |
