Course Objectives:	-To learn the material properties and mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete (RC). -To learn how RC behaves under axial force, shear force and bending moments. -To learn how RC behaves under combined load actions, axial loading and bending moment. -To understand the proportioning and design concepts for RC beams and columns -To understand the minimum requirements in TS-500-2000, TSDC-2007, TSDC-2018

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
-To have an understanding of mechanical properties of reinforced concrete,
-To learn how the reinforced concrete elements behave under combinations of different types of loading conditions,
-To introduce the concept of ultimate strength design for reinforced concrete sectional design.

Course Content

Reinforced concrete (RC) is a commonly used composite material in the construction industry. Material properties, response characteristics of reinforced concrete structures, design principles of structural members, and method of analysis are systematically given in the flow of the course. Lectures are given to capture the various topics relevant to conducting reinforced concrete building design projects. Special emphasis is given to the design of structural members to ensure structural safety following the rules of TS-500-2000 and Turkish Seismic Design Code-2007 and 2018. Strength capacity of RC members under pure bending and combined load actions are introduced to make students understand behavior and start to develop engineering skills.
