Demonstrate the economical design of concrete
A safe, serviceable and economical design of concrete structures requires a comprehensive knowledge of the loads expected to be applied on the structure in its service life, properties of materials and behaviour of the structure when it is subjected to such loads. In the design of structures it is to be ensured that the structure satisfies the requirements of serviceability (to function well) under working loads as well as those of safety against total collapse due to various causes.
