Objective
Earning knowledge about models and theories utilizable for inelastic deformation and subsequent failure of materials of structures, particularly quasi-brittle silica-based composites. Getting abilities to perform nonlinear structural analysis of reinforced concrete structure using appropriate special software including evaluation of failure progress and its consequences.
Knowledge
Students will master the subject targets; it means the knowledge about models for inelastic deformation and failure of materials in building industry with particular attention to the theories of failure of quasi-brittle materials, e.g. concrete. The knowledge about selected failure models will be then deepened by practice with special software for analysis of concrete and reinforced concrete structures. The students will get familiar with advanced theories capturing selected phenomena occurring in the field of quasi-brittle structures, such as size effect, random distribution of strength, etc.
