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.
