Description
This module explains the concepts and principles underpinning the analysis and design of elements in reinforced concrete.
This module is designed to be delivered over 8 teaching weeks to facilitate students going on work placement.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Formulate the theoretical concepts underpinning the limit state design of structural elements in reinforced concrete, distinguishing between serviceability limit state and ultimate limit state requirements.
2.
Appreciate the design process from conceptual design to detail design.
3.
Analyse and design beam, slab, column and foundation elements in reinforced concrete
4.
Compile and present reinforced concrete analysis and design calculations in a logical, clear and professional manner
5.
Prepare and present reinforced concrete detail drawings and bar 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 reinforced concrete drawings and associated 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

Indicative Syllabus
- Introduction: Properties of reinforced concrete, limit state design
- Analysis of the structure. (Actions, load combinations and patterns)
- Analysis of the section. (Stress-strain relations, bending, singly reinforced sections, doubly reinforced sections, flanged sections).
- Shear, Bond and Torsion.
- Serviceability and Durability.
- Design of beams (Single span and continuous rectangular beams and flanged beams, curtailment of reinforcement)
- Design of slabs. (Simply supported and continuous one-way spanning slabs).
- Columns (Loading and moments, column classification and failure modes, short columns resisting axial load and moments)
-
Foundations (pad footings, combined footings)
Reinforced concrete design project(s). The practical work is designed to supplement the fundamental principles covered in lectures.
