Learning outcomes of the course unit

Student will learn the problems of the course and will get under control the course aims, within the meaning of obtaining knowledge and skills in the field of special topics of design and realization of concrete structures, concretized in the course schedule (foundations, tanks, containers, pipelines).

Prerequisites

structural mechanics, theory of elasticity, load, design of concrete structures

Co-requisites

Not required co-requisites.

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.-2. Types of concrete structures of water-service buildings. Monolithic frame structures, supporting frame structures of tanks and water reservoirs (outline, calculation, nodes, redistribution, strain).

5. Two-way slabs – edge supported.
6. Two-way slabs locally supported (flat-slabs, slabs with enlarged column head). Circular plates.
