RC monolithic hall structures. 4.–5. RC two-way slabs edge supported and locally supported. 6. Foundation structures – footings, continuous footings, grids, slabs. 7. Prestressed concrete – principle, materials, method of prestressing, principles of design. 8. Prestressing and its changes, ultimate and serviceability limit states. 9. Precast load-bearing structures halls and buildings – design and reinforcing, stability and stiffness. 10. Specialities in design of precast structures – influence of manufacturing, transport and assembly, design of joints, anchorages and mounting lugs, action in assembly course. 11.–12. Principles of design of selected engineering structures – storage tanks, silos, reservoirs, retaining walls. 13. Principles of masonry structures design. Expansion joints and units.

Syllabus

1. Cast-in-place RC framed structure - preliminary design of dimensions, scheme of shape of the 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. Design of primary beam for bending. 5. Design of primary beam for shear (stirrups, eventually also bends). 6. Curtailment of reinforcement of primary beam. Corrections. 7. Dimensioning of one internal column. 8. Structural solution and dimensioning of single footing below internal column. 9. Drawings of reinforcement of the primary beam, single footing and column. Corrections. 10. Two-way slab – preliminary design, load, internal forces, design of reinforcement. 11. Rebar or netting reinforcing. 12. Final checking. 13. Project submission. Credit.
