(R/C) DESIGN |
Prof. A.M. Reinhorn |

OBJECTIVES:
This is an introduction to the mechanics, analysis and design of basic reinforced
concrete components of structural systems and an introduction to integration
of simple reinforced concrete components in global structures. The
course introduces (i) the basic mechanics of capacity of reinforced concrete
sections in axial compressions, bending and shear; (ii) further the sections
are integrated in basic components of columns, beams, slabs, and footings;
(iii) the design includes building relations between demand loading conditions,
stress resultants and reinforcement sizing, location, length and schedules;
(iv) the relations between the capacity and demand are treated on the
basis of mechanics with additional specifications as described by design
codes (i.e. ACI318, etc); (v) development of design sketches / or drawings
(where applicable) for basic design. The above objectives
are obtained in a gradual build-up of knowledge about loadings and
stress
diagrams, bending capacity with single and double reinforcement in rectangular
and nonsymmetrical sections with applications to beams, flat and ribbed slabs,
footings. In addition students are introduced to design of
axial members with combined axial and bending stresses. The
Outline indicated in the
Tentative
Schedule shows the detailed subjects.

Assignments
& weights:
Home works (biweekly)* |
Part of a comprehensive
project and individual assignments |
(10% of final grade) |
Mid-semester exam |
All material to exam date |
(25% of final grade) |
Final examination |
Comprehensive - all topics |
(30% of final grade) |
Final Project* |
Revised summary of homeworks |
(35% of final grade) |
*All
homework and project will be done in groups of three students each. Please
sign up for group assignment until Thursday, September 7, 2006,
( by e-mail or drop note in the instructor’s mail box, Room 135/133
Ketter Hall). After
this date, students not signed will be assigned
to groups arbitrarily by the instructor.
·
The final grade will be assigned according to the University policies
(i.e., A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, F, using a uniform distribution
in steps of five (5) points (A=90 and above).
No incomplete grades will be assigned except for serious and well-documented
reasons.
·
The bi-weekly homework will be corrected and evaluated
but not graded.
Credit for homework will be given if
submitted by the due date before 8:05 am
on the due date. Revised home works will be graded when resubmitted as FINAL
PROJECT, at the end of the final examination.
·
You must have a minimum
passing grade (50%) in the written examinations in order to pass this
course. An F will be given if you cannot pass
the written parts, independently on the achievement in the projects, homeworks,
or all other evaluations.
*
If you have questions, ask them in class or during office hours.
* The notes
on the web are not sufficient for studies. These are notes for the instructor
on the subject helping him in his explanations. The notes and the book
have more material than required for the course. The book is
not a substitute for lectures, it is only an aid. Some methods presented in class may appear different from the book -
although the mechanics are the same. Any method is acceptable for
solutions of homeworks and examinations (consistency is advisable). Make sure you get all the information from classes.
Additional materials will be distributed in class.
* You also may contact
the instructor at reinhorn@buffalo.edu
* MORE INFORMATION will be presented in
class during the semester and posted on the WEBPAGE.
when announced in the HOT NEWS.
Make sure you get it!!!
HAVE A GOOD SEMESTER
