Course image TRE2261 Basics of Reinforced Concrete Design
Semester II

Reinforced concrete is a strong durable building material that can be formed into many varied shapes and sizes ranging from a single rectangular column, to a slender curved dome or shell. The economy, the efficiency, the strength and the stiffness of reinforced concrete make it an attractive material for a wide range of structural applications. Its utility and versatility are achieved by combining the best features of concrete and steel. 

The basics of reinforced concrete design course aims to the following:

1. Provide the general properties of structural concrete and steel.
2. Introduction to limit state analysis and design.
3. Design of structural elements (Beams, Slabs, Columns and Footings) and retaining walls.
4. Detailing of reinforcements and bar bending schedules

Course image CWE2261 Physical Hydrology
Semester II

This module is designed to provide to the students the fundamentals, concepts, and theories of Physical Hydrology. This focuses on principles of exploring the principal rules that govern the flow of water on the land considering the four major types of water: atmospheric, ground, soil, and surface. Hydrology, in general,  is the science that deals with the occurrence, distribution, movement, and properties of water on and beneath the surface of the Earth or in the atmosphere, and water’s relationship with the environment. Basically, Hydrology is the science of the movement, distribution, circulation, and properties of water on and beneath the earth's surface. To create an introduction to physical hydrology; this story map will discuss the water cycle, conservation of mass, watersheds, and the global water balance.

Physical hydrology particularly provides students with an introduction to quantifying the components of the hydrologic cycle namely, precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, infiltration, runoff, streamflow, groundwater flow. and water storage in watersheds. Appropriate field and laboratory tests used to measure hydrologic processes and mechanistic and statistical models for data evaluation and interpretation are presented.

 This module contains seven units that were individually developed in the browsable sections provided in the e-learning platform of the University of Rwanda.  Those sections contain PowerPoint notes, Supplementary PDF files, Figures, and Videos. Students can download or watch, or read from this platform.

 Exercises corresponding to each unit were provided and assignments were given and will be marked. Students can attempt and submit them as described in the given instructions. To successfully navigate through the module contents, students should explore them unit by unit by starting from Unit I up to Unit VII and point by point in each unit following the provided sequential order.
