Description

  • English Description

    Reinforced Concrete systems; students will know about the physical and mechanical properties of concrete and reinforcing steel. They will study the structural systems of slabs (solid, hollow block, ribbed, flat slab and paneled beams), in addition to knowing about the different loads the building may experience and how does the structure system distribute and transfer these loads. Students will study rules of thump to make a primary design of the main structure system elements such as slabs, beams, columns, stairs, and other elements. Steel structures; students will know about the main concepts and considerations of the steel structure system design. They will study: the structural systems, lateral resistance and bracing systems. In addition, they will study: the structural behavior of members, an Introduction to design philosophies, the different threats the steel structure system may experience and how to deal with.
