Course Description

In this course, the behavior of reinforced concrete and basic principles for calculation will be focused. By analyzing the mechanical properties of concrete and steel reinforcement materials that make up reinforced concrete, the calculation of reinforced concrete beams under the effect of pure bending will be carried out. Calculation of reinforced concrete columns under pure axial force and combined bending and axial load will be handled to examine the shear effect on reinforced concrete elements.
