This course introduces the design of concrete structures for special tasks. These structures include bridges, halls, and storage structures. The design of contemporary R.C. bridges is achieved through learning the theory and basics behind pre-stressed concrete and the design of pre-stressed bridges. In addition, the design of halls in buildings or factories is applied through the design of saw-tooth (north light) structures, shell roof structures, and arched frame structures. Moreover, the design of special structures for storage such as elevated circular tanks, ground tanks, and silos are covered in the course.
