Syllabus
1. Load and its calculation, combination and effects. Idealisation of basic structural members. Design of cast-in-place reinforced concrete structure – project: Defined task, preliminary design of dimensions, analyse of structural solution and static system, scheme of shape of structure.
2. Basic materials of reinforced concrete, interaction of concrete and reinforcement, durability of concrete members.
3. Bended members, design and assessment of the slabs: single supported floor slab – load, action of forces, dimensioning for bend and shear, transverse reinforcement, anchorage of reinforcement, modification of reinforcement in the areas of partial fixation, scheme of reinforcement.
4. Design and assessment of slabs: continuous floor slab – load, action of forces (redistribution of forces), dimensioning for bend, scheme of reinforcement.
5. Design and assessment of flat floor beam - load, action of forces, dimensioning for bend (T-section, comparison with rectangular cross-section).
6. Framed member of general cross-section stressed by bend – general method, application on cantilever beam (example).
7. Correction.
8. Slab floor girder – dimensioning for shear, axial shear, curtailment of reinforcement.
9. Design and assessment of a lintel - load, action of forces, dimensioning for bend, shear, direct and indirect bedding of girder, scheme of reinforcement. Reinforcement of rings. Drawings of reinforcement of calculated members.
10. Vertical framed concrete structures: RC column stressed by eccentric pressure – load, action of forces, verification of load-bearing capacity via interactive diagram (example).
11. Correction.
12. Project submission. Credit.
