COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course covers behaviour and design of reinforced concrete structures in accordance with
relevant design code of practice. It focuses on the design of reinforced concrete structures including
beams, columns, slabs and foundations. The students need to analyse, design and draw the
detailing of the structural elements.

COURSE OUTCOMES (CO)

CO1 Design reinforced concrete structural members and frames using relevant code of practice
for safety and economics consideration.

CO2 Evaluate reinforced concrete structures for safety adequacy using relevant code of practice.

PROGRAMME OUTCOMES (PO)

PO3 Design solutions for complex civil engineering problems and design systems, components
or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and
safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations

PO5 Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern engineering and IT
tools, including predictions and modelling, to complex civil engineering problems, with an
understanding of the limitations
