Course Overview
ASCT 1136 presents theory and code requirements necessary for detailing of reinforced concrete structural elements. The course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop a set of construction drawings from concept sketches, design information, codes and specifications. Students will gain knowledge about more complex foundation and floor systems, variety of types of concrete slabs, beams and columns, and about producing both engineering and placing drawings. The course is delivered through project work on floor plans, foundation and roof plans and details, sections, beam/column/footing schedules, bar lists and connection details.
