Description:

The course is focused on design of concrete structures based on ultimate state design method.
The focal topics are design of reinforced concrete members for basic types of straining (bending, shear, combination of normal forces and bending moments) including determination of load effects; introduction to serviceability limit states. Other topics are technology of production and material properties of concrete and their testing, properties of steel reinforcement and interaction of reinforcement and concrete.
The prerequisite courses are Structural mechanics, Theory of Elasticity, Building materials, Building structures.
