| Course Description: | Mechanical behavior of concrete in uniaxial and multiaxial states of stress. Time-dependent behavior of concrete. Mechanical behavior of reinforcing steel. Behavior and strength of uniaxially loaded members; confinement. Behavior and strength of members in pure bending. Behavior and strength of members under combined bending and axial load. Behavior and strength of members under combined shear and bending. |
| Course Objectives: | Understanding the behavior of reinforced concrete structural elements, mechanical properties of concrete; ultimate strength theory of flexure and shear; concepts of design and proportioning sections for strength and serviceability; background of Code specification requirements; strength design of beams, columns, and members under combined axial load and bending based on Eurocodes. |
