Concrete structures I ERASMUS>BUD21
Aims of the Course:
Understanding the behavior of concrete and reinforced concrete structures. Mastering calculation and dimensioning methods for basic elements of simple engineering structures. Acquiring knowledge of computational models and design principles for reinforced concrete sections using the limit state method. Developing the ability to assess the technical condition and load-bearing capacity of existing reinforced concrete structures.
Learning Outcomes:
Students gain general knowledge and understanding of fundamental concepts related to reinforced concrete structures, including:
- Concrete – compressive and tensile strength, concrete grades, deformability, shrinkage, and creep.
- Steel – strength, deformability, steel grades, types of reinforcing steel available on the market.
- Interaction between reinforcement and concrete, minimum reinforcement area, bond between steel and concrete, anchorage length of reinforcing bars.
- Limit state design method: flexural members, stress states in bending beams, general principles for determining ultimate limit states.
- Rectangular cross-sections – singly and doubly reinforced; T-sections – singly reinforced.
- Shear – theoretical introduction, truss analogy for shear elements, shear resistance, and design cases.
