Principles Of Reinforced Concrete

Civil Engineering

Introduction to Reinforced Concrete

Foundations of reinforced concrete materials, behavior, durability, and NSCP 2015 strength design context.

Analysis and Design of Beams (Flexure)

Flexural analysis and design of reinforced concrete beams using the NSCP 2015 / adopted ACI 318-14 basis.

Shear and Torsion in Beams

Analysis and design of reinforced concrete beams for shear and torsion using the NSCP 2015 / adopted ACI 318-14 basis.

Serviceability

Deflection, cracking, time-dependent deformation, durability, and vibration checks for reinforced concrete using the NSCP 2015 / adopted ACI 318-14 basis.

Bond, Anchorage, and Development Length

NSCP 2015 / ACI 318-14 bond, development, anchorage, and splice provisions for reinforcing bars.

Analysis and Design of Slabs

Methods for analyzing and designing one-way and two-way reinforced concrete floor systems, with clear limits on simplified analysis and prescriptive thickness rules.

Footings

Structural design of reinforced concrete footings with consistent service bearing, strength, shear, flexure, and anchorage checks.

Retaining Walls

Design principles and stability analysis for reinforced concrete retaining walls, including earth-pressure assumptions, drainage, and structural detailing.

Introduction to Prestressed Concrete

Fundamental prestress systems, stage-specific stress analysis, losses, cracking classifications, and load balancing.

Structural Walls, Seismic Detailing, and Building Design Workflow

Reinforced-concrete structural walls, coupling action, boundary regions, ductile detailing principles, and an integrated gravity-to-lateral building design workflow.

Analysis and Design of Columns

Study of short and slender reinforced concrete columns under axial load and uniaxial or biaxial bending.
