Course content

Design methods for reinforced concrete structures are shifting toward limit state design methods which incorporate ultimate strength design methods based on plasticity theory and probabilistic theory.
This course will focus on explaining the elasto-plastic behavior of structural members which is thought to be a necessary structural factor in establishing a rational structural design method for reinforced concrete structures. Also, the course will also discuss the application of macro model analysis, utilizing upper and lower-bound theorems, and finite element method analysis.

Purpose of class

Realise the shear transfer mechansm of reinfored concrete members.

Goals and objectives

Mechanical behavior of material under multi-axial forces.
Calculation method for ultimate strength of stractural members.
Elasto - plastic behavior of reinforced concrete structures.
