This unit provides an introduction to the analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures. The basic properties of concrete and reinforcing steel are investigated, and the influence of these properties on reinforced concrete design examined. Design for serviceability, strength, durability and robustness is addressed. Students are introduced to modern methods of analysing and designing basic structural elements, and assembling these elements into simple structural frames. The basic elements considered are beams, slabs, columns, footings, retaining walls and deep beams. -- Course Website
