Understanding to the behaviour of flat concrete structures.
Knowledge of designing framed reinforced concrete structures.
Knowledge of designing simple foundation structures.
Designing slab and wall concrete structures.
To understand the principles of prestressed structures behaviour with correct application of the prestressing effects in practice.

Co-requisites

do not required

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

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).

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

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.

Course curriculum

1. Structural systems of multi-storey monolithic skeleton constructions – arrangement systems, loading, space stiffness, ceiling structures, dimensioning.
2. Multi-storey monolithic skeleton constructions – static solution, redistribution and restriction of forces, reinforcement arrangement, constructive principles.
3. RC monolithic hall structures.
4. RC two-way slabs edge supported.
5. RC two-way slabs 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 – structural solution, principles of design and reinforcing, construction 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. Principles of design and reinforcing of selected engineering structures – storage tanks, silos.
12. Principles of design and reinforcing of selected engineering structures – reservoirs, retaining walls.
13. Principles of masonry structures design. Expansion joints and units.
