Course outcome: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

apply the basic requirements of the American Concrete Institute ACI 318 design
specification.

apply the concepts of strain compatibility and equilibrium concepts to determine the
strength of RC members

design simple and continuous RC beams of any cross sectional shape for shear,
flexure, and deflection.

design RC beam-columns of any cross sectional shape

design basic RC foundations

design RC cantilevered retaining walls

understand the issues related to designing slabs on grade.
