Description

This module introduces the learner to the design and detailing of simple elements in reinforced concrete.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Appreciate the process to design reinforced concete elements in accordance with the relevant design codes

2.

Distinguish between ultimate and serviceability limit states

3.

Design reinforced concrete simply supported beams and one-way spanning slabs

4.

Perform and present design calculations in a clear and logical fashion

5.

Prepare reinforcement detail drawings and prepare the associated reinforcement bending schedules

Teaching and Learning Strategies

Delivery of material by formal lecture, supplemented by design practical classes, and augmented by independent learning.  The design practicals enable learners to apply the theory in project work and requires the learner to undertake structural analysis/design calculations and to prepare drawings and bending schedules.

Module Assessment Strategies

A mix of final semester examination (70%) and practical work (30%).

An overall pass mark of 40% must be obtained to pass the module

Repeat Assessments

Learners shall repeat the failed elements. The leaner must then achieve an overall mark of 40% to pass the module
