Reinforced Concrete Design III

At the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. explain materials and equipment for prestressing concrete; 2. analyse and design plates and shells as well as reinforced concrete frame design; 3. discuss properties of steel and concrete for prestressed concrete; and 4. design and construct different types of retaining walls.
