Advanced problems in the analysis and design of concrete structures, design of slender columns and one- and two-way slabs, introduction to inelastic behavior of beams and columns; short- and long-term beam deflections; combined bending, shear, and torsion in beams; behavior under load reversals; analysis and design of retaining walls; analysis and design of shear walls, massive concrete structures such as dams and tanks, their crack propagation and ways to control and reduce cracks. The course involves practice on using professional software packages relevant to modeling and analysis of reinforced concrete structures.
