Course curriculum

1. Monolithic reinforced concrete slabs locally supported – structural arrangement, static action, elementary calculation of internal forces, principles of dimensioning for deflection.
2. Extrusion of a slab. Solution of different types of heads. Limit of applicability of two-way slabs. Methods of reinforcing.
3. Precast structures – halls systems, structural arrangement, load (dead, wind, snow, cranes). Members of precast halls (ties, girders, columns, jackets) joints, application. Space stiffness.
4. Tie and tieless halls – method of calculation. Principles of design and reinforcing of members and their joints.
5. Multi-storey skeletons, structural arrangement, members and their joints. Elementary principles of calculation. Influence of joints rigidity on skeletons behaviour. Load-bearing capacity of joints.
6. Ceiling structures action. Stability and stiffness with and without reinforcing members.
7. Panel systems, structural solution, calculated schemes. Dimensioning of individual element and their connections.
8. Design of panel buildings stiffness. Calculation of reinforcing elements. Space systems.
9. Special elements (panels) and structures. Structural solution and principles of design of precast building foundations.
10. Principles of design and applications of composite structures. Elements of precast systems during manufacturing, transport and assembly. Calculation of anchorages and mounting lugs. Static action during assembly.
11. Elementary principles of gesign of storage tanks (bunkers and silos) – loading, principles of static solution, dimensioning and reinforcing.
12. Elementary principles of design of reservoirs – loading, principles of static solution, dimensioning, reinforcing.
13. Principles of design of prestressed concrete members – base, materials used, prestressing inserting into concrete, technological process, prestressing and its changes, design principles (load-bearing capacity and applicability).
