Prerequisites:  

•      CES 4702 Concrete Design
•      CES 3100 Structural Analysis

 At the end of this course, you should be able to analyze and design advanced reinforced concrete structures and elements, which are common place in today’s buildings and bridges. The knowledge you gain in this class will build up on the basic knowledge that was gained by you in the elementary concrete design class. Without the knowledge from the advanced class, chances are that you will be handicapped in the complex field of practical reinforced concrete design.  

Syllabus  

·        Review of basic theories and practice of reinforced concrete design

·        Length effects on column: Buckling of concentric columns, moment magnification, braced vs. unbraced frames, ACI design approach

·        Two way floor systems, general design concept from Ad, slab thickness — edge beams — column capitals, direct design method

·        Torsional design, torsional stress and stiffness, strength of concrete sections in torsion, strength in combined shear and torsion, torsional strength and hoop reinforcement

·        Deep flexural members, stress distributions, brackets and corbels, horizontal and vertical steel placement

·        Modified compression field theory, strut and tie model, interaction of shear, moment and torsion, LRFD AASHTO design approach

·        Shear walls of multi-story buildings, behavior of cantilever walls, interaction of shear walls and rigid frames, shear walls with openings, coupled walls

·        Cantilever retaining walls, forces and stability of retaining walls, proportioning of walls

·        The art of concrete detailing, continuous slab-beam-girder and joist floor systems, monolithic beam-to-column joints, detailing examples
