Hi Class.  Please find below information on term report and final presentation.

1.) Your final presentations will be on Monday, 7th and Wednesday, 9th.  Please send an electronic copy of your presentation to me by 10 AM next Monday.  The order of your presentations will be randomly picked by lottery.  First six students will do presentation on Monday.  Each will have 12 minutes to present and 3 minutes to answer any questions.

2.) Your final report is also due next Monday at 5 PM.  Please send me and Prof. Buyukozturk a pdf file of your final report.  The hard copy is due in Prof. Buyukozturk's office.

Hi class.  There're two mistakes in the solution.
1.) When equating V_u and V_s + V_c, there is no need for a factor of 12 on the left-hand side of the equation.
2.) When calculating torsional moment due to distributed force, I multiply b_max/2 twice, which is wrong.

Hi Class.  Extra office hour is this Sunday from 3-6 PM.  I also have uploaded a solution to sample exam 2 (last section on Materials page).  The solution is not comprehensive, but it should be helpful in studying for the upcoming exam.  Again, the exam will cover:
1.) Joints
2.) Torsion design
3.) Yield line theory for slab
4.) Shell

Hi Class.  The average of exam 1 is 66 and the standard deviation is 8.8.  If you
have any question on grading or the exam questions, please stop by my office
as soon as possible.

Another note.  According to class schedule, we will have exam 2 on Monday,
November 30th.  Since it's on the Monday right after Thanksgiving, we won't
have a chance to have a proper review session like last time.  However, I plan
to have an extended office hour on Sunday to answer your last-minute question. 
I'll keep you posted.
