Understanding the different concrete mix design methods. The student will be able to comprehend the properties of fresh and hardened concrete associated with the change in the properties and types of the constituent materials. Lab tests of fresh and hardened concrete is also considered, deformations, durability, and the assessment of concrete structures will be included in this course.

The exploration of the topics related to design of metal structures, behavior of members and their connections, theoretical, experimental, and practical bases for proportioning members and their connections, design of steel members under different load cases (ASD and LRFD), combined loads, connections, welded and bolted, and moment-resistant connections, and development of detailed design drawings

Exploring the topics related to strength, behavior, and design of indeterminate reinforced concrete structures, with primary emphasis on slab systems, emphasis on the strength of slabs and on the available methods of design of slabs spanning in two directions, with or without supporting beams, design of sections under axial forces, design of sections under eccentric forces, design and

This course is based upon teaching the student to efficiently identify and analyze engineering geology and geotechnical related subjects. Soil classification and shear strength is the main objective for the course. Studying other mechanical properties of supporting soil such as settlement and seepage for farther investigation related to structural engineering and hydrology is also considered.

Explore topics related to strength, behavior, and design of reinforced concrete members subjected to moments, shear, and axial forces, with emphasis on the influence of the material properties on behavior. Reinforcement details for beams, limit state design, serviceability limit state and deflection.
