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.
