DETAILS OF THE FINAL PROJECT (GROUP WORK)
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the project, the students must be able to:
1. Estimate loadings from floor plans to be used in structural analysis, and
2. Apply the concepts in structural theory to analyze the beams and draw its shear
and bending moment diagram.
3. Design the main structural elements by applying the concepts in reinforced
concrete design.
