Structural Concrete Design
Lectures




This page will connect you with all of the important material covered in this class. This will include outlines of the lectures, homework assignments, reading assignments and exam reviews. The general outline is still tenative.

The outline of the lectures will emphasize the main points in the lecture. However, it will not substitute for attending the class. It will be beneficial to you to attend and see how the examples are worked and the theory behind the topic is applied.
