Exercise

13 weeks, 1 hours/week, compulsory

Syllabus

  • 1.–3. Calculation analysis of the cross section bearing capacity loaded by combination of bending moment and normal force – physical non-linearity of the concrete and steel. Cross section layer model for compression part. Algorithm development of the calculation with help of Microsoft Excel program.
  • 4. Correction.
  • 5.–6. Deflection computation of the two way slab within Scia Engineer computing program with the help of non-linear calculation.
  • 7. Correction.
  • 8.–9. Deflection computation of the two way slab within Scia Engineer computing program with help of linear iterative computation – non-linear behaviour is taken into account by modification of the stiffness matrix within every iterative step.
  • 10. Tasks submission. Credit.
