CE 4180 - Special Concrete Slab and Structures Design

Institution:

Southern Utah University

Subject:

Civil Engineering

Description:

This course focuses on the analysis, design, and detailing of special slab systems and special structural forms frequently used in buildings and long-span structures. Emphasis is placed on selecting an appropriate slab system, developing rational load paths, and producing constructability-focused detailing in accordance with ACI/ASCE and selected industry standards. Slab topics include cantilever slabs, ribbed/joist and waffle slabs, slab-on-ground systems, precast and prestressed floor systems (including hollow-core planks), post-tensioned slabs, and composite slab systems. Special structural forms include domes, shells, arches, vaults, folded plates, and an introduction to long-span tensile/cable-supported systems and space frames/grids from a conceptual design and load-path perspective. A semester design project develops a professional submittal package for a selected slab system and a conceptual design study of a special structural form.
