{"ModuleCode":"CE5510","ModuleTitle":"Advanced Structural Concrete Design","Department":"Civil & Environmental Engineering","ModuleDescription":"This module provides students with an advanced knowledge on the design methodology for structural concrete. It also provides a learning experience on the key concepts and engineering concerns of concrete structures. The topics include advanced design philosophies and methods such as collapse load methods, limit design method and strut-and-tie method, design of openings in flexural members, seismic design, and design of various structural systems. The students are expected to demonstrate their proficiency in structural concrete design through term paper projects. The target students include both undergraduate and graduate students who are involved in research or engineering practice related to structural concrete.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"3-0-0-1-6","Prerequisite":"CE3165 or CE4 standing or higher","ExamDate":"2015-11-23T09:00+0800","ExamOpenBook":true,"ExamDuration":"P2H30M","ExamVenue":"E3-06-08/09","Types":["Module"],"Lecturers":["Tan Kiang Hwee"],"IVLE":[{"Announcements":null,"Forums":[],"Workbins":[],"Webcasts":[],"Gradebooks":[],"Polls":[],"Multimedia":[],"LessonPlan":[],"ID":"cd726d71-a2f5-4636-b7a7-e1decfc66c6e","CourseLevel":"1","CourseCode":"CE5510","CourseName":"ADVANCED STRUCTURAL CONCRETE DESIGN","CourseDepartment":"","CourseSemester":"Semester 1","CourseAcadYear":"2015/2016","CourseOpenDate":"/Date(1434384000000+0800)/","CourseOpenDate_js":"2015-06-16T00:00:00","CourseCloseDate":"/Date(1449331140000+0800)/","CourseCloseDate_js":"2015-12-05T23:59:00","CourseMC":"0","isActive":"Y","Permission":"S","Creator":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Tan Kiang Hwee","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"f33be6a9-f2a0-436c-b81f-43231f78729a","AccountType":null},"hasGradebookItems":false,"hasTimetableItems":true,"hasGroupsItems":false,"hasClassGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasGuestRosterItems":true,"hasClassRosterItems":false,"hasWeblinkItems":true,"hasLecturerItems":true,"hasDescriptionItems":true,"hasReadingItems":true,"hasAnnouncementItems":false,"hasProjectGroupItems":false,"hasProjectGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasConsultationItems":false,"hasConsultationSlotsForSignUp":false,"hasLessonPlanItems":true,"Badge":0,"BadgeAnnouncement":0,"WebLinks":[{"ID":"c50aaf34-08a8-44fb-a1e2-3f696c12246f","URL":"http://www.concretecentre.com/codes__standards/eurocodes/eurocode_2.aspx","Description":"Eurocode 2","Order":1,"Rating":4,"SiteType":""},{"ID":"93a0a5cb-c7a9-4623-b6f6-93507316eb95","URL":"http://dankuchma.com/stm/index.htm","Description":"Strut-and-tie method Resources Website","Order":2,"Rating":2,"SiteType":""},{"ID":"8790427c-924c-4705-b078-f5f2117086bf","URL":"http://www.ce.udel.edu/cibe/news%20and%20events/Strut_and_tie.pdf","Description":"Strut-and-tie method","Order":3,"Rating":1,"SiteType":""},{"ID":"fd0cff62-8d1f-45d2-938f-761e716fa3f2","URL":"http://www.cement.org/basics/concreteproducts_histrength.asp","Description":"Cement & Concrete Basics: High Strength Concrete (Portland Cement Association)","Order":4,"Rating":2,"SiteType":""},{"ID":"07ca9bf9-1754-47d5-ba6d-cf6cf9482a16","URL":"http://www.bca.gov.sg/others/draft_HighStrengthConcrete_DesignGuide.pdf","Description":"Draft Design Guide for High Strength Concrete to SS CP65","Order":5,"Rating":2,"SiteType":""},{"ID":"b634fc6d-7888-4144-ba2a-a956e73e3e13","URL":"http://www.cement.org/bridges/","Description":"Concrete Bridges (Portland Cement Association)","Order":6,"Rating":2,"SiteType":""},{"ID":"f23a6208-a6e8-4ccc-b410-39b70d9c331a","URL":"http://www.californiaconcretewatertanks.com/Photo_Gallery.php","Description":"Concrete Water Tanks","Order":7,"Rating":1,"SiteType":""},{"ID":"a24172d8-0449-4a1f-b6cf-18c5661e1432","URL":"http://www.concretecentre.com/online_services/publication_library/publication_details.aspx?PublicationId=755","Description":"EC2 - Deflection calculations","Order":8,"Rating":4,"SiteType":""},{"ID":"eb2d0436-ae79-4be7-ad63-825f9683b0ba","URL":"http://www.concretecentre.com/online_services/publication_library/publication_details.aspx?PublicationId=754","Description":"EC2 - Flat Slab Design","Order":9,"Rating":4,"SiteType":""}],"Lecturers":[{"ID":"d6d7fff2-452e-423c-8bac-44f51d47f3ee","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Tan Kiang Hwee","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"f33be6a9-f2a0-436c-b81f-43231f78729a","AccountType":null},"Role":"Lecturer ","Order":1,"ConsultHrs":null}],"Descriptions":[{"ID":"1e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Learning Outcomes","Description":"The objective of this module is to further equip civil engineering students with advanced knowledge and skills in reinforced and prestressed concrete design. The students will learn refined design methods for ultimate and serviceability limit states, and apply them to structural design of flat slab systems, slender columns, concrete bridges, and concrete water tanks.
\r\n
\r\nAt the end of the course, the students should be able to
\r\n1. understand the underlying principles and apply advanced theories and methods in structural concrete design;
\r\n2. design special structural concrete systems such as transfer girders and other discontinuous members, slender columns, and flat and irregular slabs;
\r\n3. understand the special requirements in the analysis and design of bridges and water-retaining structures.
\r\n
\r\nThe main EAB's learning outcomes associated with this module are thus:
\r\n(a) Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering
\r\n(c) Design a system, component, or process, and synthesise solutions to achieve desired needs
\r\n(d) Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems
\r\n(e) Use the skills and engineering tools neceswsary for engineering practice","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites","Description":"Students must have taken an elementary course in Reinforced Concrete Design.","Order":2},{"ID":"6e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Syllabus","Description":"Review of design philosophy (1.5 hour)
