Syllabus

1. Cast-in-place RC framed structure - preliminary design of dimensions, scheme of shape of structure, load, loading states for internal frame. 2. Calculation of internal forces of the frame. 3. Calculation of internal forces of the frame - continuation, combination of loads. 4. Dimensioning of cross beam for bend and shear (stirrups, eventually also bends). 5.
