3 points 26 lectures, 12 tutorials, 1 laboratory class * First semester * Clayton * Prerequisites: CIV2260
Review of flexural strength design of beams. Shear design: shear and diagonal tension, shear resistance mechanisms, design and detailing of shear reinforcement. Bond and development length; cogs and hooks; curtailment of reinforcement. Continuous beams: moment and shear envelopes, simplified method of analysis, detailing of reinforcement. Design for serviceability: uncracked and cracked moment of inertia, concept of tension stiffening and effective moment of inertia, calculation of short-term and long-term deflections; deemed to comply span to depth ratios; control of cracking. Fire resistance: insulation, structural adequacy and integrity. Durability. Columns: behaviour of RC columns, types of failure, calculation of ultimate strength, interaction curves, design of tied and spiral columns, slenderness effects, design of slender columns by moment magnifier method. RC slab systems, design and detailing of one-way slabs, behaviour and design of two-way edge supported slabs, design and flat slab systems, punching shear and moment transfer at slab-column connections. Types of foundations, design of isolated footings.
