Objectives of the Course -Developing an understanding of and appreciation for basic concepts in the behavior and design of reinforced concrete systems and elements.
-Introducing the basic concepts and steps for reinforced concrete sectional design mainly in accordance with ultimate strength design.
-Enabling the student develop an intuitive feeling about structural and material wise behavior and design of reinforced concrete systems and elements.
-Underlining and discussing the basic principles of mechanics regarding the analysis and design of reinforced concrete systems and elements.
Course Content This is a fundamental course related to reinforced concrete structures. Within this course, mechanical properties of structural concrete are first presented. Behavior of reinforced concrete elements under different natural and physical conditions are described. Design procedures are explained under normal, shear, moment and torsion forces/moments. In this respect, ultimate design of reinforced concrete elements is covered in detail. Design of such structural members as beams and columns are discussed. A brief introduction to Turkish Standards regarding Reinforced Concrete Analysis and Design and the codes related of the American Concrete Institute for reinforced concrete buildings are made.
Course Methods and Techniques Classes will be carried out as face-to-face lectures. Teaching is based on interactive learning, hence, individual participation is critical. Individuals will be expected to produce homework assignments in addition to the reading tasks. Technology will also be incorporated into the classroom procedures in order to create a better learning environment.
