Aims

To teach the students to the principles of static solution of concrete structures and buildings.
To gain ability for design of the principal types of structures of building construction and civil engineering together with preparing relevant technical drawings.
To understand the principles of prestressed structures behaviour with correct application of the prestressing effects in practice.
A student gains these knowledge and skills:
• Knowledge of the principles of static solution of concrete structures and buildings.
• Virtue for designing principal types of structures of building construction and civil engineering together with the ability of preparing relevant technical drawings.
• Understanding of the principles of prestressed structures behaviour with correct application of the prestressing effects in practice.

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. 5. Dimensioning of cross beam for shear (stirrups, eventually also bends). 6. Curtailment of reinforcement of cross beam. Checking. 7. Dimensioning of one internal column. 8. Structural solution and dimensioning of single footing below internal column. 9. Drawings of reinforcement of the cross beam, single footing and column. Checking. 10. Two-way slab – preliminary design, load, internal forces, dimensioning – design of reinforcement. 11. Rebar or netting reinforcing. 12. Final checking. 13. Project submission. Credit.
