This course deals with durability of concrete; deterioration of concrete in early, plastic, and hardened states; evaluation of concrete performance, concrete protection and repair.

This course is designed to introduce modeling and analysis of structural elements subjected to gravity and lateral loads. Analysis of statically indeterminate structures is emphasized. Students learn to evaluate internal forces and deflection. The contents include analysis of statically indeterminate structures by approximate method, method of consistent deformation, three-moment equations, slope-deflection method, moment distribution method, and influence lines for statically indeterminate structures. The course also introduces matrix analysis of structures and plastic analysis methods.
