OBJECTIVES:
1) To understand the fundamental principles and structural behaviour of concrete buildings in withstanding gravity, lateral (seismic and wind), and other environmental forces.
2) To understand the mechanics of reinforced concrete, and the ability to design and proportion structural concrete members including slabs, beams, and columns.
OUTLINE:
1) Introduction to Reinforced Cement Concrete.
2) Properties of materials - with emphasis on cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, admixtures
3) Mechanics of Reinforced Cement Concrete
4) Loads on the structure as per IS 875
5) Concrete structural system design
6) Design of one way continuous slab - as per IS 456[using the BM coefficients given in IS 456]
7) Design of singly reinforced continuous beam as per IS 456 (using the BM & SF coefficient given in IS 456).
8) Design of Tee beam as per IS 456 - using limit state phylosophy.
9) Design of staircase as per IS 456 - using limit state phylosophy.
10) Design of Axially loaded short columns.
11) Design of isolated column footing.
12) Data given drawing for different cases viz.
a. Singly reinforced beam
b. Doubly reinforced beam
c. One way slab
d. Two way slab - for at least 2 cases
e. Staircase detailing (dog legged staircase)
f. Cantilever slab.
