Course Description
This course provides an overview of the factors that affect the design of reinforced concrete (RC) and steel structures such as the pattern of building use, architectural space requirements and the architectural form, etc. Students will be introduced to the design code of reinforced concrete structures and will have a broad knowledge of how various elements of reinforced concrete buildings, i.e. columns, beams and various RC floor systems (solid slabs, hollow block slabs and panelled beam floors) should be analyzed and designed along with an overview of the types and details of steel structures. Field trips to construction sites using RC, steel and pre-cast structures will enable students to comprehend and appreciate the numerous theoretical concepts taught in the course.
