ST4202 Advanced Concrete Structures Syllabus:

ST4202 Advanced Concrete Structures Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVE:

 To make the students familiar with the behaviour of RCC beams and columns and to design special structural members with proper detailing

UNIT I BEHAVIOUR AND DESIGN OF R.C. BEAMS

Properties and behaviour of concrete and steel – Behaviour and design of R.C. beams in flexure, shear and torsion – modes of failure – calculations of deflections and crack width as per IS 456.

UNIT II BEHAVIOUR AND DESIGN OF R.C. COLUMNS

Behaviour of short and long columns – behaviour of short column under axial load with uniaxial and bi-axial moments – construction of Pu – Mu interaction curves – Design of slender columns

UNIT III DESIGN OF SPECIAL R.C. ELEMENTS

Design of RC walls – design of corbels – strut and tie method – design of simply supported and continuous deep beams – analysis and design of grid floors.

UNIT IV FLAT SLABS AND YIELD LINE BASED DESIGN

Design of flat slabs according to IS method – Check for shear – Design of spandrel beams – Yield line theory and design of slabs – virtual work method – equilibrium method.

UNIT V INELASTIC BEHAVIOUR OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES

Inelastic behaviour of concrete beams – Moment-curvature curves – moment redistribution – Concept of Ductility – Detailing for ductility – Design of beams, columns for ductility – Design of cast-in-situ joints in frames.

OUTCOMES:

On completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to
CO1 Explain the structural behaviour of flexural members and columns
CO2 Design the compression members and construct interaction diagrams
CO3 Design the special elements like corbels, deep beams and grid floors
CO4 Design flat slab and spandrel beams
CO5 Predict the moment curvature behavior and design and detail concrete elements based on ductility
