Project of RC Structures
Summary:
Project of Reinforced Concrete (RC) Structures is a course that students review structural theoretical courses and Iranian codes and employ them to design a 3D model of mid-rise RC residential building (at least 9-story) using software programs. This course is recommended for the 8th semester of the undergraduate civil engineering program at Isfahan University of Technology.
