Study STE 409 the smart way
Sage already knows this exact syllabus — ask it anything about Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures, generate practice questions in your exam's format, and get a cram sheet that works offline.
What you'll be able to do (official learning outcomes)
generalise the guiding principles of the serviceability limit state and the ultimate limit state concepts and how they relate to the design of structures
summarise the fundamental mechanics of reinforced concrete and the empirical assumptions made for analysis
identify reinforced concrete failure modes from crack patterns
apply fundamental mechanics to the design of reinforced concrete beams and slabs at the serviceability limit state including determination of short- and long-term deflection and crack widths
apply fundamental mechanics to the design of reinforced concrete beams and slabs at the ultimate limit state including determination of member strength (flexural and shear) and ductility
apply fundamental mechanics to the design of reinforced concrete columns at the ultimate limit state including determination of strength under uniaxial and biaxial bending;
design basic structural elements (beams, columns and slabs) according to the design approach of internationally acceptable standards.
Course contents
