This document presents the syllabus for the course "Design of Structures" prepared by Professor Dhruvil Patel. It includes the teaching scheme, objectives, detailed syllabus and reference materials. The objectives are to develop professional skills in designing building elements and analyzing structures for reinforced concrete and steel. The syllabus covers limit state design philosophies and design of structural elements like beams, slabs, columns and foundations for both reinforced concrete and steel structures. Reference books on structural design codes and specifications are also listed.
