Overall Educational Objective To gain knowledge on design of reinforced concrete structures and the application of current code requirements and construction details as a continuation of basic methods from Reinforced Concrete I.
Course Description This course covers the details of reinforced concrete design. Emphasis is placed on design of reinforced-concrete slabs supported by beams, joist slabs subjected to vertical loads; information about Turkish Earthquake Code; determination of lateral EQ forces affecting reinforced-concrete structures according to the code and distribution of internal forces in structural elements; general design of beams, columns and shear walls; introduction to stair systems and determination of internal forces at waist and landing plates and their design; calculation of the internal forces in foundations (continuous footings; spread footings; combined footings on elastic soil, mat foundations) of masonry and reinforced-concrete structures subjected to vertical and lateral loading; introduction to retaining walls, determination of loads, calculation of the internal forces and design of retaining walls; introduction to deep beams and their general design; expansion and seismic joints.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) Design and perform detailing of different types of reinforced concrete slab systems.
2) Design reinforced concrete structures subjected to vertical and lateral loads defined by the codes; design of beams and columns.
3) Design and perform detailing of staircase systems.
4) Design and perform detailing of the foundations of masonry and reinforced concrete structures.
5) Design and perform detailing of retaining walls.
6) Design deep beams.
