Course Description
The course deals with the entire field of the customary reinforced concrete design with the exception of some highly
specialized and unusual structures (such as the shell concrete). Complete designs of a few common structures are
discussed to furnish a vehicle for bringing together all the fundamental theories involved. Emphasis is given to a
thorough discussion of basic structural performance, fundamental mechanics, and physical explanation.
