Spring, 2004.
GENERAL COURSE DESCRIPTION (UM SCHEDULE OF CLASSES):

Combined bending and compression, development and anchorage of


reinforcement, deflections, design of slabs including one-way and two-way,
design of footings, retaining walls, introduction to prestressed concrete, design of
multi-story buildings..

TOPICS TO BE COVERED IN THIS COURSE:

• Concrete and reinforced concrete

• Loads

• Beams

− Flexure

− Shear and diagonal tension

− Serviceability considerations

• Serviceability (deflection) of Beams and one-way slabs

• Columns

− Axially loaded

− Combined compression and bending

• Bond development of reinforcing bars

• Design of two-way slabs and plates

• Design of footings and retaining walls

• Introduction to prestressed concrete

• Design of multi-story buildings


HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS:

Professional presentation of homework assignments is required. Professional


presentation consists of neat and organized solution of problems on one side of
8.5"x11" papers. Any homework not complying with professional standards will
not be graded and will be assigned zero credit. The homework assignments are
due one week after they are assigned. Assignments turned in late will be docked
10% for each day it is late past the original due date. Solutions will be available
from the TAs and on the class website after the problems are returned. No
assignment will be accepted after the answers have been posted. Students are
encouraged to discuss and formulate solutions to the problems by working in
teams. However, assignments must be completed and submitted individually.
Guidelines for homework are given as follows:

1. Use good quality paper, such as engineering graph paper or college-ruled paper,
any color, with no spiral edges.
2. Write on only one side of the paper.
3. Either pen or pencil is acceptable.
4. Include your name, section, and page number (e.g. 1/3 means 1 of 3) on each
sheet.
5. Staple all pages together in the upper left corner.
6. Neatly box all answers, and include appropriate units for numerical answers.
7. Show all work (e.g. no work means no credit will be given).

If the above guidelines are not followed, the TA will either reject the assignment
outright, for extreme cases, or deduct points for items that do not conform to the
specifications.

EXAMS:

All students must take all quizzes and exams including the final exam. Only
extenuating circumstances will be accepted as excuse for missing an exam.
Health related excuses require medical reports and the signature of a
physician that provided treatment

DESIGN PROJECT: To be announced and discussed.
