This course is a fundamental course for structural designers. It is to develop the understanding of the mechanical behavior of concrete and steel reinforcement as individual materials and the combined mechanical behavior of concrete and steel reinforcement as reinforced concrete members and structures. Based on the mechanical behavior of materials and members, this course will further develop the understanding of the flexural, shear and axial design methods for beams and columns of reinforced concrete structures.

從鋼筋與混凝土之力學性質，及兩者合成作用之特性（主要包括梁、柱等構材承受彎矩、剪力、軸力作用時，各受力階段應力之分佈情形，以及破壞之機構等），了解鋼筋混凝土構材及結構之主要行為與設計方法。本課程是成為設計工程師的最基礎課程。
