Study Guide

Objectives

The student knows the design principles of reinforced concrete structures and the strength properties of concrete and reinforcing steels. The student is able to design and design different types of structures, including continuous, beam and slab structures. He can also design walls and pillars against buckling and underground foundations. The student is able to choose the thickness of concrete cover according to the criteria of shelf life and fire resistance. The student will also master the basics of anchoring reinforcement and determining the cut length. The student knows the basics of evaluation of deflection and cracking. The student is able to produce structural drawings of reinforced concrete structures.

Prerequisites

5R00GQ47 Basics of Structures or equivalent knowledge

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

The student can identify and define the basic things included in the course. The student knows how to solve the reinforcement of a bent structure, the reinforcement of a beam and the reinforcement of a column in a controlled manner, i.e. simple applications that are similar to the tasks discussed.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

In addition to the previous one, the student can identify the most suitable solution from different reinforcement and structure options by comparing them and justify their choice.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

In addition to the previous one, the student has a comprehensive understanding of the subjects of the course and their use to solve problems, as well as the ability to present, analyze and justify logically treated issues and solution methods.
