Course overview

The aim of this course is to provide students with a thorough understanding of the design of reinforced concrete structures. Topics covered will include: design of beams and slabs for flexure and shear; detailing of flexural and shear reinforcement; behaviour of reinforced concrete members under combined flexure and axial load; design of short columns; behaviour and design of slender columns.

Course learning outcomes

  • Generalise the basic material properties of concrete and reinforcement and their role inthe behaviour of reinforced concrete structures.
  • Apply fundamental mechanics and codified approaches (AS3600) to the design of reinforced concrete beams andslabs at the serviceability limit state.
  • Apply fundamental mechanics and codified approaches (AS3600) to the design of reinforced concrete beams,columns and slabs at the ultimate limit state.
  • Demonstrate an ability to work collaboratively, critically reflect, and deal with uncertainty when solving open-ended problems.
