    Instructor Dr. P. Adebar, FCAE, PEng [email protected]

    Schedule
    Lectures:1 10:00 – 11:30 am on Mondays and Wednesdays
    1
    First class: Mon. Jan. 11th, No class: Mon. Apr. 5th, Last class: Wed. Apr. 14th.

    Calendar Description
    CIVL 433 (3) Advanced Concrete Design
    Design of continuous reinforced concrete building frames and structures.
    This course is not eligible for Credit/D/Fail grading. [3-0-0]. Prerequisite: CIVL 430.

    Course Objectives
    As a technical elective course, CIVL 433 builds on the foundational knowledge from CIVL 430.
    It provides an advanced level of knowledge for someone that is expected to work as a structural
    engineer designing concrete buildings.

    List of Topics (tentative)


    ⋅ Review of important concepts from CIVL 430
    ⋅ Design of short and long columns
    ⋅ Design of beams subjected to bending moment, shear force and torsion
    ⋅ Design of one-way and two-way slab systems
    ⋅ Design of prestressed concrete members
    ⋅ Seismic design of low-rise concrete shear wall buildings

    Learning Outcomes
    Upon the successful completion of this course, it is expected that students will be able to design, in
    accordance with CSA Standard A23.3-2014, components of concrete building structures including
    short and long columns, beams subjected to bending moment, shear and torsion, one-way and two-
    way slabs subjected to gravity loads, concrete shear walls subjected to seismic demands.

    Mark Distribution Mark Dist.1


    Assignments (approx. weekly) 50%
    Mid-term Examination (individual) 10%
    Final Examination (individual) 40%

    1
    Mark distribution shown only applies to students that achieve a passing grade (50%) for all
    examinations; otherwise, the final grade is the combined examination grade (mid-term
    examination 20%; final examination 80%).
    Textbook
    The recommended textbook (not required; but very useful for anyone that will work in structural
    design) is: Cement Association of Canada (CAC) Concrete Design Handbook, 4th Edition, 2015. This
    handbook includes CSA Standard A23.3-2014, the Commentary to CSA A23.3, and textbook chapters
    on the design of concrete structures. The book must be purchased from Orderline.com.
    https://www.orderline.com/concrete-design-handbook-fourth-edition

    The regular price is $230 (plus tax and shipping), while the special student price is $181 (plus tax
    and shipping). You must call Orderline Customer Service at 1-888-361-0003 to get the student price.
    Shipping one book to the UBC area is estimated* to be $24.85, thus the total price for one book is
    $181 + 24.85 + 12.28 (tax) = $218.13. Shipping 10 books is estimated* to be $38.29, thus the price
    per book reduces to $194.38 for a large group order. (* estimates provided by Orderline)

    Professional Conduct
    At all times, students are expected to adhere to the highest professional standards when
    communicating or interacting with their classmates, the course TAs and the course Instructor.

    Academic Honesty and other UBC Policies and Regulations


    It is expected that all fourth-year UBC students are fully aware of the university policies and
    regulations, which can be found here: http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/index.cfm?tree=3,0,0,0
    In particular, students need to be fully aware of the policy on Academic Honesty and Standard.
    Academic honesty is essential to the continued functioning of UBC as an institution of higher
    learning and research. All UBC students are expected to behave as honest and responsible members
    of the academic community. Failure to follow the appropriate policies, principles, rules, and
    guidelines of the University may result in disciplinary action.
    If a student has any questions about the academic standard in this course, the student must consult
    with the Instructor. In no case should the student submit any work or participate in any activity that
    they are not certain meets the required academic standard.
    In the Faculty of Applied Science, all cases of suspected academic misconduct must be reported to
    the Dean’s Office for a formal investigation.

    CEAB Course Information


    This course consists primarily of two curriculum components as defined by the Canadian
    Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB): Engineering Science (ES) and Engineering Design (ED).

    Statement from UBC: During this pandemic, the shift to online learning has greatly altered teaching and studying at UBC,
    including changes to health and safety considerations. Keep in mind that some UBC courses might cover topics that are
    censored or considered illegal by non-Canadian governments. This may include, but is not limited to, human rights,
    representative government, defamation, obscenity, gender or sexuality, and historical or current geopolitical controversies. If
    you are a student living abroad, you will be subject to the laws of your local jurisdiction, and your local authorities might limit
    your access to course material or take punitive action against you. UBC is strongly committed to academic freedom, but has
    no control over foreign authorities (please visit http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/index.cfm?tree=3,33,86,0 for an
    articulation of the values of the University conveyed in the Senate Statement on Academic Freedom). Thus, we recognize that
    students will have legitimate reason to exercise caution in studying certain subjects. If you have concerns regarding your
    personal situation, consider postponing taking a course with manifest risks, until you are back on campus or reach out to
    your academic advisor to find substitute courses. For further information and support, please visit:
