Concrete and Prestressed Concrete Structures - ZEIT4602 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description This course starts by introducing and discussing concepts and methods of reinforced concrete design. Students will learn how to analyse and design rectangular and flanged reinforced concrete beams. The acquired skills will be used by the students to design one-way slabs. Deflections of beams and one-way slabs will be analysed and designed for. The skills developed at this stage enable students to learn correct detailing and presentation of their design work. Students will then learn the philosophy and methods of design of two-way reinforced concrete slabs which includes designing for punching shear in flat plates and flat slabs. Students will then be introduced to the design of short and slender reinforced concrete columns and will develop the capacity to design columns for a axial and biaxial effects. This part naturally concludes with principles and methods used in designing reinforced concrete footings. Prestressed concrete will be introduced to the extent of familiarising students with its concepts through simple design examples. Finally, the students will become familiar with the strut and tie modelling as a powerful design method in many applications.
