Design of Concrete Structures-I

This document provides information on the design of concrete structures course CVE-305-L. The course is 3.5 credits and involves lectures, tutorials, and drawings. It is assessed through minor tests, class participation, assignments, and a 3-hour end of semester exam. The exam contains 7 short answer questions and students must attempt 4 of 8 additional questions, selecting one from each of the 4 units. The units cover topics like concrete technology, design philosophies, working stress and limit state methods, design of beams and slabs, shear and torsion, columns and footings, serviceability limits, reinforcement detailing, and retaining walls. References for the course are also provided.
