A student gains these knowledge and skills:
Understanding of the principles of concrete plasticity and its application in concrete structures design.
Knowledge of the modern methods of design of the members stressed by shear and torsion, optionally in interaction with others types of internal forces.
Understanding of the principles of rheological effects of concrete and mastering the methods for analysis of these effects on constructions.
Understanding of the methods for analysis of long-term effects of concrete and composite structures in view of the rheological properties of concrete.
Knowledge of design of concrete structures exposed to fire.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Education runs in the forms of lectures and trainings. Character of the lectures is based on definition of basic principles, problems and methodology. In the trainings the main subject matters are trained on individually defined projects (examples).

To gain the credit, the students should elaborate individually defined design and calculate specified task. The students are obliged to consult the design continuously in the given terms and submit it to the fixed date. The presences in training lessons are checked. An exam consists both of the written part, in which the task is elaborated, and the theoretical part. To pass the exam successfully, both parts should be accomplished.

1. The interrelation of design and structural model. Plastic analysis. Strut and tie model. Proportioning of nodes, struts and ties. Reinforcement design of brackets, corbels and discontinuity zones.
2. Variable angle truss model, interaction of internal forces acting on concrete cross-section.
3. Compression field theory. Modified compression field theory.
4. Hybrid structures, effects of prestressing, construction and rheology of concrete on structural behaviour. Drying of concrete, shrinkage, autogenous shrinkage, physical principal of rheological phenomena.
5. Components of concrete strain. Delayed strain caused by stress. Principle of linearity (stress, temperature) and superposition, stress history, ageing of concrete. Rate-of-creep theory, theory of delayed elasticity, creep affinity.
6. General rheological models - preconditions, functions applied, characteristics. Model B3, its updated prediction and extensions.
7. Effects of creep and shrinkage on structural behaviour, non-homogeneity of structures. Integral and diferential equations of creep. Colonnetti’s theorems.
8. Structural analysis of progressively constructed prestressed structures. Closed form solution using force method.
9. Simplified and numerical methods for the analysis of rheological effects on structures – effective modulus methods, effective time method.
10. Time discretization method, its combination with finite element method method.
11. Examples of modelling of segmentally constructed structures – span-by-span construction, cantilever construction, cable-stayed structures.
12. Check of prestressed concrete structures with respect to redistribution of internal forces caused by creep and shrinkage.
13. Deflection control with respect to progressive construction. Practical implication of creep and shrinkage to structures.
