1.1 Mapped to: K1

To provide a comprehensive understanding of reinforced concrete (RC) structures and their applications, including the main aspects of RC structures for covering large spans, the classification of frame types, the design philosophy for shear-critical elements, arch slabs, and girders, as well as the behavior of specialized structures such as saw-tooth systems, Vierendeel girders, and trusses.

2.1 Mapped to: S3

To develop the ability to design and analyze reinforced concrete (RC) structures, including grid beams, beams curved in plan, and prestressed elements, with a focus on understanding the properties of concrete, reinforcing bars, and strands. This includes explaining the behavior of RC elements under combined torsion, shear, and bending stresses; analyzing deep beams, corbels, walls, and lintels; designing frames, arched girders, saw-tooth sheds, Vierendeel girders, and trusses; and drawing reinforcement details for structures covering large spans
