ENEQ676
Advanced Reinforced Concrete
Description
Studies of the behaviour and strength of reinforced concrete structures and elements, long-term volumetric changes, deflections, shear, bond, cracking, ‘progressive’ collapse, response to impulsive and cyclic demands. Review of historical and state-of-the-art research and pertinent literature. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation of existing structures and the background, use, and limitations of present design specifications and evaluation methods. Consideration is given to topics beyond the contents of conventional undergraduate courses including: two-way slabs, deep beams and diaphragms, collapse mechanisms, progressive collapse, and the mechanics of RC under large deformation demands.
