Objectives of the Course To enable students to understand the fundamentals of reinforced concrete design theory for the major R. C. elements of ordinary buildings.
Course Content This course gives the basic principles for reinforced concrete design of structures based on mechanical properties of structural concrete. Fundamentals and design theories based on ultimate (Limit) strength design and elastic concept. Introduction to Turkish Standard for Reinforced Concrete Design ‘TS-500’, Building Codes and the American Concrete Institute Code ACI. Load factors, structural safety limits. Analysis and design of reinforced concrete members subjected to flexure, shear and diagonal tension in accordance to ACI strength method. Development length of reinforcement.
