Class Objectives
/Class Outline To acquire basic structural design process and durability design process of reinforced concrete structures based on "Reinforced Concrete Structure Calculation Standards and Commentary" and "Durability Design and Construction Guidelines for Reinforced Concrete Buildings and Commentary".
Students will be given exercises on related topics to master specific calculation procedures.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review Enough preparation and review of each class is necessary because many contents are taught in each class.

Requirements

Grading Method The grade of achievement is assessed through the report. The 60 percent of achievement is the passing mark.

Practical Experience

Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it

Message Reinforced concrete is used in almost all buildings, including wooden and steel structures.
We recommend this course to all students who are aiming for an architectural occupation, regardless of whether they are planning or structural.
