Course Description
The second part of this course deals with the design of reinforced concrete footings such as wall footing, square isolated footing (subject to axial load, and to axial load and bending moment), rectangular
footing (isolated and combined), trapezoid footing, footing on piles, and strap footing.

The highest percentage rating that may be given in any grading period is 99 and the lowest passing grade is 75. Any grade lower than 75 is considered “Failed”.
Towards the computation of student’s grades in any subject, the following are done:
1. The student’s actual total score, which refers to the sum of the student’s scores in recitation, problem set, seat works, quizzes, and grading examination, is determined.
2. The student’s actual score is transmuted using the distribution table based on the highest possible score.(note: the instructor will show the distribution table to the students)
There are three (3) grading periods (first grading, midterms & finals) for each semester. The cumulative system of computing grades shall be followed. Grades computed for midterms and finals are
considered tentative. The final midterm grade is calculated by getting 1/3 of the first grading grade plus 2/3 of the tentative midterm grade and the final grade is computed by getting 1/3 of the midterm
grade plus 2/3 of the tentative final grade.
Students are required to present a portfolio in each grading period with a reflection item.
Attendance:
Attendance is checked from the first day of classes. Students who miss classes due to late enrolment will be marked absent for the day(s) missed.
A student who comes to class 10-15 minutes will be marked “tardy”. Three (3) tardy marks are equivalent to one hour of absence. A student who leaves the classroom and stays out for the duration of the class
period without the instructor’s permission shall be marked “absent”.
A student who incurs absences of more than twenty percent (20%) of the prescribed number of class or laboratory periods during the semester shall be dropped automatically and given a final grade of 70.
