| Credit points: | 03 |
| Year: | 2016 |
| Student Contribution Band: | Band 2 |
| Administered by: | College of Science and Engineering |
Concrete Technology: Properties of plastic and hardened concrete; mix design; concrete constructions; sustainability in concrete engineering Reinforced Concrete: Flexural design of singly and doubly reinforced beams; T beams; shear design of beams; development length, curtailment and lap splice; serviceability limit state - deflection and crack control; RC column design; RC slab design Prestressed Concrete: Concept and construction methods; advantages of prestressed concrete; stresses in simple uncracked members; equivalent loads and load balancing; deflections; prestress losses; ultimate bending strength
Learning Outcomes
- explain the properties of fresh and hardened concrete; and identify potential issues in concrete structures and describe different innovative technologies to overcome those issues;
- design concrete mix to satisfy strength and durability requirements and perform basic quality control tests to determine concrete material properties;
- describe sustainability aspects of cement and concrete; and identify various methods of producing environmental friendly concrete;
- analyse and design various reinforced concrete structural elements such as beams, slabs, and columns based on limit state design principles to meet the strength and serviceability requirements;
- describe the principles of prestressing in concrete structures; and analyse and design prestressed concrete beams to meet the strength and serviceability requirements.
