Design of Structures

The course deals with design principles of concrete structural components that are used in Civil Engineering infrastructure under different possible modes of loading.                                                                                                                                                                         Objectives:

• create appreciatation of the importance of concrete as a structural material.
• enhance appreciation of the shortcomings of concrete and how to overcome them.
• Design various structural concrete elements loaded in tension, compression, bending and torsion.
• Design connections of concrete with other materials like steel, masonry and timber.
