MEP 416 ADVANCE DESIGN OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES.

COURSE OUTLINE
The course recalls the concepts and principle learned during undergraduate course in reinforce concrete design. To
apply the concepts and principle in designing reinforced concrete horizontal and vertical structures using ultimate
design. To explain the outcome of the design as based on the governing codes

Main Task:
1. Prepare a computed structural design of building (minimum of 4 storey school building with roof deck)
2. Detailed loading computation (include lateral force) and structural analysis.
3. Detailed reinforcement details.
4. Spreadsheet type solution using excel is acceptable.
5. STAAD or other computer simulation or computation is not accepted.
