Syllabus

  • 1.-2. Types of concrete structures of water-service buildings. Monolithic frame structures, supporting frame structures of tanks and water reservoirs (outline, calculation, nodes, redistribution, strain).
  • 3.-4. Foundation structures – footings, continuous footings, grids, slabs, deep foundations.
  • 5. Two-way slabs – edge supported.
  • 6. Two-way slabs locally supported (flat-slabs, slabs with enlarged column head). Circular plates.
  • 7. Simple and continuous wall beams. Walls with/without stiffening elements. Retaining walls.
  • 8. Principles of design and reinforcing of storage structures (bunkers and silos). Rectangular and rotary symmetric tanks and water reservoirs.
  • 9. Problems of water-service structures cracking.
  • 10. Water-service structures – troughs, weirs.
  • 11. Water-service structures – channels and ducts.
  • 12. Design and application of shells, domes and arches.
  • 13. Principles of design and application of precast structures. Basic theory of prestressed concrete. Principles of masonry structures design.
