Objectives of the Course -Providing a thorough understanding of the design of reinforced concrete slabs
-Teaching students the analysis and design of various kinds of footings.
-Enabling students to comprehend the behavior of RS stairs under vertical loads.
-Providing a general understanding of behavior of RS member under combined load effects
Course Content This course is about slabs, foundations, stairs and design of RC members for combined effect of shear, torsion and bending. First, the general information is supplied for slab members. Classification of slabs such as one-way and two-way slabs, ribbed slabs are covered. In a similar way, a general knowledge will be then provided for foundations, followed by discussion of types of foundations. Basic foundations types, spread footing, combined footing, continuous footing, raft foundation members are covered. The analysis and design of stairs are examined. Finally, behavior of RC members subjected to
torsion, design for torsion, shear and moment.
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.
