Exercise

13 weeks, 2 hours/week, compulsory

Syllabus

  • 1. The load and its determination, combination and effects. Idealisation of basic structural members. Design of monolithic reinforced concrete structure – project: definition of task, preliminary design of dimensions, analysis 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 review of the slabs: single supported floor slab – load, action of load and combinations, design for bending and shear, transverse reinforcement, anchorage of reinforcement, modification of reinforcement in the areas of partial fixation, scheme of reinforcement.
  • 4. Design and review of slabs: continuous floor slab – load, action of forces (redistribution of forces) and combinations, design for bending, scheme of reinforcement.
  • 5. Design and review of beam with the T cross-section - load, action and combination, design for bending (T-section, comparison with rectangular cross-section).
  • 6. Member of general cross-section subject to bending – general method, application on cantilever beam (example).
  • 7. Correction.
  • 8. Beam with the T cross-section – design for shear, shear between web and flanges of T cross-section, curtailment of reinforcement.
