Course Objectives The aim of the course is to inform the students about the behavior and design principles of the reinforced concrete structural elements, to make the reinforced concrete calculation of beam and column sections and to perform the reinforcement calculation.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Define the mechanical properties of concrete and reinforcing steel.
  • Explain the basic principles of reinforced concrete calculations.
  • Design reinforced concrete columns under axial force.
  • Define the beam members under pure bending effects.
  • Design the reinforced concrete columns under combined bending and axial load.
  • Explain the capacity of the RC elements under shear effects.
Course Description In this course, the behavior of reinforced concrete and basic principles for calculation will be focused. By analyzing the mechanical properties of concrete and steel reinforcement materials that make up reinforced concrete, the calculation of reinforced concrete beams under the effect of pure bending will be carried out. Calculation of reinforced concrete columns under pure axial force and combined bending and axial load will be handled to examine the shear effect on reinforced concrete elements.
