This document outlines the syllabus for a web course on the design of concrete structures. The course is divided into 16 modules covering topics such as limit state design philosophies, flexural analysis of beams, shear design, foundations, slabs, columns, and earthquake-resistant design. It is coordinated by Professor J.N. Bandopadhyay of IIT Kharagpur and includes over 40 individual lessons on analyzing and designing various reinforced concrete elements.
