Course Description
CEE 456 is the first course in the theory and design of reinforced concrete structures. In this class, the civil engineering student learns the basic behavior of reinforced concrete sections when subjected to prescribed loads. The student also learns to design reinforced concrete beams, one-way slabs, and columns in accordance to the building code requirements of the American Concrete Institute.
CEE 456 is a prerequisite to other advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in reinforced concrete theory and design.
Students completing this course should be able to:
-
Determine design loads according to load combinations prescribed by building codes
-
Determine the response (i.e. behavior) of reinforced concrete sections when subjected to flexure or combination of flexure and axial load
-
Interpret code minimum requirements and evaluate reinforced concrete elements for compliance with those requirements
-
Design reinforced concrete beams, one-way slabs, and columns
-
Evaluate the serviceability of reinforced concrete beams and one-way slabs
-
Develop detailing of steel reinforcement
-
Use professional application software to analyze and design reinforced concrete elements
