Commercial and high rise construction (excluding industrial buildings) relies heavily of the use of reinforced concrete for the structural components. The cost of the building structure is a significant portion of the total cost of the project. The interpretation of the information provided on the engineers’ reinforced concrete drawings and specifications provides the necessary means to be able to transfer this data into the physical built form. As a result, this subject investigates the rheology of concrete and the use of admixtures. Structural design concepts for reinforced concrete structures are analysed and their influence on construction methods assessed. The concepts relate to... -- Course Website
