Exercise

13 weeks, 2 hours/week, compulsory

Syllabus

  • 1. Cast-in-place RC framed structure - preliminary design of dimensions, scheme of shape of structure, load, loading states for internal frame.
  • 2. Calculation of internal forces of the frame.
  • 3. Calculation of internal forces of the frame - continuation, combination of loads.
  • 4. Dimensioning of cross beam for bend and shear (stirrups, eventually also bends).
  • 5. Curtailment of reinforcement of cross beam. Checking.
  • 6. Dimensioning of one internal column.
  • 7. Structural solution and dimensioning of single footing below internal column.
  • 8. Drawings of reinforcement of the cross beam, single footing and column. Checking.
  • 9. Serviceability limit states – deformation, cracks.
  • 10. Two-way slab – preliminary design, load, internal forces, dimensioning – design of reinforcement.
  • 11. Rebar or netting reinforcing.
  • 12. Final checking.
  • 13. Project submission. Credit.
