i Course Information

Course: Design of RCC Structures (ENCE 352) • Year / Part: III / II

Credits: Lecture 4 • Tutorial 2 • Practical 2 • 11 Chapters • 60 Hours • 60 Marks

Question coverage: 211 chapter entries include cross-listed and legacy questions; they are not 211 unique examination questions. Nineteen recent sittings from 2069–2082 are supplemented by older papers. Historical CE 702 papers use an 80-mark format, while the supplied ENCE 352 syllabus allocates 60 marks.

Objective: To equip students to design building elements using reinforced concrete by the limit state method — using structural analysis results, applying relevant code provisions, detailing reinforcement, and covering seismic-code requirements for ductile detailing.
