Instructor: Dr. D. Maity, e.mail: damodar@iitg.ernet.in

Course Outline

1. Introduction: Design philosophy, Modeling of wind loads, Wind loads on

buildings, Material characteristics, Properties of concrete

2. Reinforced Concrete: M-φ relationship: IS code, ACI code, Behavior of RC

elements under flexure, shear, torsion and combined axial load-bending moment,
Provision of IS and ACI code, Design of RC member in tension

3. Prestressed Concrete: Introduction, Prestressing systems, Pre-tensioned and post

tensioned members, Analysis, Losses in prestressed concrete, Pressure line, Load
balancing concept, Factors influencing deflection, Analysis and design of
statically determinate prestressed concrete structures for flexure and shear,
Statically indeterminate beams

4. Composite Structures: Introduction to steel-concrete composite structures,

Anatomy of a composite building, Construction of composite structures, Design
of composite beam and column, Shear connectors, Design strength of shear
connectors, Load resisting systems, connections, Analysis procedures of buildings
for gravity and lateral loads
