Concrete is a versatile building material which is used extensively in multistorey buildings, airports, dams, roads and many other important parts of today's modern infrastructure. Whilst it is inherently strong in compression, its weakness in tension is offset by suitable steel reinforcement which is initially either unstressed or prestressed. This results in a composite material which requires a detailed understanding of its behaviour before safe and economical designs can be produced. Accordingly, this course provides an advanced knowledge on the design and analysis of: The Behaviour of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete, Durability and Fire Resistance, Behaviour and Design for Strength and Serviceability of Reinforced Concrete Beams, Slabs and Columns, Detailing, Behaviour and Design for Strength and Serviceability of Fully Prestressed and Partially Prestressed Concrete Beams and Losses of Prestress.

1. Calculate the design loads on an element for both the strength and serviceability limit states;
2. Explain the background to, and be able to apply, the durability and fire resistance provisions of AS3600 Concrete Structures;
3. Evaluate the behaviour under load of reinforced concrete beams and select a beam size and reinforcement layout which satisfies the strength and serviceability limit state requirements of AS3600;
4. Evaluate the behaviour under load of reinforced concrete columns and select a column size and reinforcement layout which satisfies the strength limit state requirements of AS3600;
5. Evaluate the behaviour under load of reinforced concrete slabs and select a slab size and reinforcement layout which satisfies the strength and serviceability limit state requirements of AS3600;
6. Draw layouts and details of the reinforcement designed in 3, 4 and 5 above;
7. Evaluate the behaviour of statically determinate prestressed concrete beams and analyse the losses in prestress. Select a beam and reinforcement and tendon layout which satisfies the strength and serviceability limit states of AS3600.
