CE 341 Design of Concrete Structures
Course
Description:
This course provides students with an understanding of the structural
design process, the mechanics of reinforced concrete, and the ability to
design and proportion structural concrete members including slabs, beams,
and columns for strength, serviceability, and economy. Design procedures are
based on the Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete published by
the American Concrete Institute. The mechanics underlying the code design
equations are explained as well as their application to practical design
problems. In addition to regular homework assignments the students complete
a design project in which the design of specific components is integrated
into the design of the structure as a whole.
