Department of Concrete and Masonry Structures

Synopsis:

Design of concrete members - load capacity,

deflection and crack width. Analysis and modelling. Detailing

of RC structures.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Design method for reinforced concrete structures.

2. Floor systems - one-way slabs, checking deflections by calculation.

3. Floor systems - two-way slabs on beams.

4. Floor systems - flat slabs, punching shear.

5. Frames, shear resistance of beams.

6. Columns subjected to bending and axial force, slender columns.

7. Torsion. Stairs and balconies.

8. Bracing systems, shear walls.

9. Basement and retaining walls.

10. Analysis with strut-and-tie models. Corbels and deep beams.

11. Foundations - ground-structure interaction. Footing.

12. Foundations - strip footing, foundation slabs, piles.

13. Creep, shrinkage, temperature effects.

14. Precast concrete elements and structures.
