- 1. UNIVERSITY OF HARGEISA Class syllabus COURSE NAME: Reinforced Concrete one COURSE SYNOPSIS: This course covers the introduction of concrete design, the limit states theory, ultimate strength analysis and flexural design. Shear, bond and torsion. Course Objectives The objectives of the course are: To have developed an understanding of the behavior of reinforced concrete members and structures. To have acquired basic professional skills in the design and detailing of reinforced concrete structural elements for strength and serviceability. To be able to use the reinforced concrete design standards in reinforced concrete design. Course Learning Outcome (CLO): At the end of the semester, students will be able to: 1. Relate the behavior of the reinforced concrete (RC) structural elements. 2. Estimate the loads of the structural elements. 3. Design the RC structural elements according to the code requirements.
