Department of Concrete and Masonry Structures

Synopsis:

Design of plain and reinforced concrete

members, design of masonry members. Actions, material

properties, geometrical data, modeling. Assessment of effects

of load and resistance of members. Ultimate and serviceability

limit states, detailing rules. Seminars are devoted to

practical problems of designing concrete and masonry members.
