Course overview
In this course, students will analyse and design reinforced concrete structures choosing appropriate concrete materials. Concrete mix design. The detailed analysis and design of reinforced concrete beams, one-way and two-way slabs, columns and footings.
Course learning outcomes
- Consolidate and extend their knowledge of limit states design incorporating sustainability issues using concrete materials (PO 1,3, 4, 5, 6), (EA 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1).
- Design simple and intermediate structures using reinforced concrete to comply with Australian Standards (PO 1,4,5,6), (EA 1.1, 1.2, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3).
- Integrate first principles theoretical knowledge with practical design and analysis techniques, including the use of computer analysis programs (PO 1,4,5), (EA 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3).
- Communicate design processes and outcomes in a manner acceptable to the engineering profession, through design reports, calculations and drawings (PO 7), (EA 3.2, 3.5).
