Course Objectives:
· Prepare students for advanced graduate research on RC structures or
joining the structural engineering community as a knowledgeable and competent
structural designer.
Topics:
· Visualization Skills: Many of the problems encountered in this course
are three-dimensional and are intended to enhance visualization skills
· Problem Solving Skills: Most of the problems in this class have more
than one way of getting to the right answer. Students must be able to think
ahead to identify the simplest solution.
· Design Skills: This is a design class, which emphasizes and component
design as well as system design
· Critical Thinking Skills: This class emphasizes and develops the students'
intuitive ability to judge the quality of their designs.
· Knowledge of current philosophies for design: LRFD emphasized
· Probabilistic basis for LRFD.
· Load cases and calculation of design forces.
· Design of beams, columns, and beam-columns, Shear walls.
· One-way and two-way floor systems,
· Shear, torsion, compression field theory.
· Inelastic analysis.
· Wind and seismic design.
· Introduction to prestressed concrete
