Philosophy of design criteria, elementary probabilistic considerations; strength theory for reinforced and prestressed elements in bending, shear and torsion and their interactions; yield line and strip method of slab design; theory of plasticity as applied to concrete. A seminar project is usually undertaken in this course. Three term-hours; lectures.
