Course Overview
This course is a continuation of CIVL 3173 Introduction to Reinforced Concrete Design and covers more advanced topics in the design of concrete structures. The course begins with a concise review of the design of beams and short columns followed by torsional behaviour and design of beams for torsion, design of slender columns, bond and anchorage of steel, concrete and splices, analysis and design of continuous beams and slabs, design of two-way slabs, and basic design of walls. The course is delivered through lectures and problem-solving sessions.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Explain the behaviour of beams in torsion and determine required transverse and longitudinal reinforcement.
- Design slender columns.
- Determine the cut-off point of flexural reinforcement and the required development length for appropriate bond and anchorage.
- Analyze and design continuous one-way beams and slabs.
- Design two-way slabs.
- Perform basic design of reinforced concrete walls.
