    Fall 2017

    Instructor: Ardavan Yazdanbakhsh


    Office: Steinman Hall T-110
    E-mail: [email protected]
    Office hours: Wednesday: A period of one hour after the end of class
    Class time/location: MoWe 9:30AM 10:20AM – NAC 4/130
    Mo 2:00PM – 4:50PM - Marshak 1307 (or the Concrete Lab at Steinman)
    Text Book
    Design of Concrete Structures, Arthur H. Nilson, David Darwin, and Charles Dolan,
    McGraw-Hill, 14th Edition.
    You also need to have a copy (hard or pdf) of:
    • ACI 318 (2011 or 2014): Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete &
    Commentary, American Concrete Institute.
    To get a discounted price from ACI you need to become an ACI student member (free).
    Optional Reference
    • Concrete, Sidney Mindess and Francis Young, Prentice Hall.

    Prerequisites: CE 264 (Civil Engineering Data Analysis), CE 340 (Structural Analysis).

    Course Objectives
    • Understand the basic properties and behavior of concrete, reinforcing steel, and aggregates.
    • Learn the fundamentals of analyzing and designing beams, columns, one-way slabs, and
    footings for ultimate limit state (flexure, shear, and axial loads).
    • Learn the fundamentals of proportioning concrete mixes.
    • Learn how to make concrete and measure some of its fresh and hardened properties.

    Grading Policy
    Mid-term exam 1 25%
    Mid-term exam 2 25%
    Final exam 30%
    Homework and quizzes 5%
    Lab work 10%
    Project 5%

    Four Lab Reports:


    1. Course aggregates
    2. Fine aggregates
    3. Concrete specimens with desired slump
    4. Set measurement
    Homework
    It is anticipated that approximately 10 homework will be assigned during the semester. The
    homework assignments are due 1 week after they are assigned (unless noted) and are due at the
    beginning of the class. There is a 30% penalty if a homework assignment is submitted within one
    week late. Any homework late more than a week will not be accepted. Homework assignments can
    be done in groups of two students. In that case, each group must turn in one assignment with the
    name of both students on it.

    Class/Lab Participation
    Please arrive before the beginning of the class. Attending lab sessions that will be held in
    concrete/soils lab is compulsory.

    Laboratory
    Students will be formed into up to groups to perform the lab assignments. Each group will submit
    four lab reports during the semester. Students must submit all lab reports by the due date and must
    receive scores for each report in order to receive a passing grade for the course. There is a 30%
    penalty if a lab report is submitted within one week late. Any lab report late more than a week will
    not be accepted.

    Submission of Work/Exam
    All assignments (homework and lab report) and exams must be legible, well-organized, clear, and
    easy to follow. For each homework assignment, write on single side of letter size paper sheets (8.5”
    x 11”) and staple them at the top left-hand corner. There is a minimum of 30% penalty for
    assignments and exams that do not meet the mentioned criteria.

    Grading Review
    After an assignment (or exam) has been graded and returned, the student will have 1 week to
    resubmit the assignment for re-grading if the student feels there has been an error in the grading
    process. The assignment (or exam) shall not be changed in any way from the original submitted
    work (i.e. additional writing, erasures, etc.)

    Unethical Conduct
    Cheating and copying of homework, quiz, examination and project will result in zero credit for that
    work and a disciplinary action by the department.
    Outline of Lectures
    1. Introduction - concrete materials and reinforcing steel, concrete mix design.
    2. Ultimate strength design method, load factors, flexural analysis.
    3. Design of flexural reinforcement for beams and slabs.
    4. Behavior of beams under shear force, failure types, design of shear reinforcement.
    5. Bonding and development length.
    6. Behavior of columns, analysis and design of compressive members.
    7. Design of footings.
