Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student should be able to:
- design structural steel members to resist axial tension and compression, and to resist bending moments and shear forces;
- arrange structural members in a structurally efficient way to transfer design loads;
- evaluate moment of resistance of reinforced concrete beams and their modes of failure
- design reinforced concrete beams, one-way slabs and columns.
