COURSE SYLLABUS
REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN I
The course pertains to design of Reinforced Concrete Elements under
compression, tension, flexural loads, shear forces and torsion regarding the
standard ACI 318-11. Furthermore, the course provides the students with tools to
elaborate plans (structural details).

6. SPECIFIC GOALS FOR THE COURSE
At the end of the course, students will be capable to:
1) Understand the behavior of Reinforced Concrete Elements under different load
cases.
2) Design Reinforced Concrete Elements under tension and compression, flexural
loads, and torsion regarding up to date standards.
3) Analyze deflections in Reinforced Concrete elements under service loads.
4) Apply the criterions learned through the course to elaborate structural plans.
