Design of Concrete Structures ENG422
Introduction
This unit merges and advances KNE210 and KNE216, building on the basic concepts and fundamental principles of concrete materials and structural engineering analysis and design. The content of this unit covers concrete technology, followed by analytical and design techniques for concrete cross-sections and members. Specific topics of structural engineering design related to concrete are introduced.
