STRUCTURAL DESIGN 1

(Reinforced Concrete Design)

CE 512
COURSE OUTLINE

ENGR. CHRISTOPHER S. PALADIO

 COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is concerned with the design, applications and code
specifications used in structural reinforced concrete members
subjected to flexure (beams, girders, joists, lintels, girts, etc.), tension,
and compression members (columns), combined stressed members
(beam-columns), beam column connections using the Elastic Limit
Method, also known as the Alternate Stress Design (ASD) or Working
Stress Design (WSD), and the Plastic Limit Method or the Ultimate
Strength Design (USD). Applications and specifications as applied to
buildings, bridges, and other reinforced concrete structures are also
given emphasis. A thorough knowledge and proficiency in Structural
Theory is imperative.

 COURSE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
• No make – up examination will be given for any long examination or
quiz missed. If the absence is due to a valid medical condition, a
special long examination will be scheduled.
• ID should always be worn while inside the school premises.
• Absenteeism:
o Student who incurred a total of ten (10) absences within the semester
is considered to be unofficially dropped from the roster of the class
unless otherwise a medical certificate is submitted to the
instructor/professor.
o Student who incurred three (3) consecutive absences is likewise
considered to be unofficially dropped from the roster of the class
unless otherwise a medical certificate is submitted to the
instructor/professor.
o Coming in late for three times is an equivalent to one day absent
