Course Description
CEE 656 is the second course in the design of reinforced concrete structures. In this class, the civil engineering student builds on the knowledge acquired in the first class (CEE 456 - Concrete Theory and Design). In CEE 656, the student learns the design of reinforced concrete elements and systems that are not covered in the first class. Topics covered in CEE 656 include the design of slender columns, footings, two-way slabs, torsional members, retaining walls, and other miscellaneous members in accordance to the building code requirements of the American Concrete Institute.
CEE 456 is a prerequisite to CEE 656.
Students completing this course should be able to:
-
Utilize the knowledge (analysis, design, and code requirements) learned in CEE 456 to new applications that are covered in CEE 656
-
Interpret code minimum requirements and evaluate reinforced concrete elements for compliance with those requirements
-
Evaluate the load carrying capacity and design (in accordance with the ACI building code) of the following reinforced concrete members and systems:
-
Slender columns and columns with bi-axial bending
-
Footings
-
Torsional members
-
Two-way floor systems
-
Retaining walls
-
Other miscellaneous members
-
-
Develop detailing of steel reinforcement
-
Use professional application software to analyze and design reinforced concrete elements and structural systems
