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 transfer, development, anchorage, splices, bar cutoffs, and support detailing.

Analysis and Design of Slabs

Production-grade one-way and two-way slab analysis, DDM/EFM selection, punching shear, serviceability, and reinforcement detailing on the NSCP 2015 / ACI 318-14 basis.

Analysis and Design of Columns

Strain-compatible strength, detailing, biaxial behavior, slenderness, and second-order design of reinforced concrete columns.

Footings

Production-grade reinforced-concrete footing design covering service soil contact, eccentricity, shear, flexure, load transfer, combined and strap footing equilibrium, detailing, and constructability.

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.
