INS 433 - Reinforced Concrete II

Course Objectives

1. To give information about the design of reinforced concrete structures, Turkish Seismic Design Code and design of reinforced concrete systems subjected to vertical and lateral loads.
2. To give information about the application of current code requirements and construction details.
3. To give the ability of applying the behavior of reinforced concrete on engineering problems.

Course Description

Design of reinforced-concrete slabs supported by beams, joist slabs, flat slabs subjected to vertical loads. Information about Turkish Earthquake Code. Determination of lateral EQ forces affecting reinforced-concrete structures according to the code and distribution of internal forces in structural elements. Introduction to stair systems and determination of internal forces at waist and landing plates and their design. Calculation of the internal forces in foundations (continuous footings; spread footings; combined footings on elastic soil, mat foundations) of masonry and reinforced-concrete structures subjected to vertical and lateral loading. Introduction to retaining walls, determination of loads, calculation of the internal forces and design of retaining walls. Introduction to deep beams and shear walls and their general design. Expansion and seismic joints.
