Curriculum Description:


Basic Principles of Concrete Structure 



The course is compulsory for students in Civil Engineering major, with bilingual teaching both in English and Chinese. The purpose of this course is to teach students the performance of concrete structures, the mechanical properties of various components and their design calculations and construction, so that students could have the ability to design the basic components of concrete structures, while read and translate the related professional English portfolios. Through the study of this course, students are required to be familiar with the mechanical properties of concrete and reinforced materials, master the basic working principle and main features of concrete structure, focus on grasping the force characteristics, design calculation methods, construction requirements and norms of basic components. The students should be proficient in English vocabulary of concrete structure, know the basic theories and design methods of concrete structure in other major foreign countries, and get the norms differences compared with China.
