Civil Engineering Technology II

This course will introduce the basic concepts of engineering mechanics applicable to civil engineering. Basic structural design concepts such as shear and bending moments diagrams for simply supported and continuous beams will be introduced. The course will also examine the analysis of reinforced concrete sections, the design of beams, one-way slabs, columns, bearing walls and retaining walls using the ultimate strength theory and the principles of limit states design. Identification of project criteria and constraints, the generation of design options and selection of preferred design will be discussed.
