STRUCTURAL DESIGN & SYSTEMS - III

Course Objectives:
To understand rational basis of the design of reinforced concrete members and structures through advanced materials and
structural behavior. Enable students to undertake problems, identify, formulate and solve the critical thought, rational inquiry
and self-directed learning.

Prerequisites:
NIL
Student Learning Outcomes:
Understanding of principles of structural behavior in withstanding gravity and lateral forces and the evolution, range, and
appropriate application of contemporary structural systems
