Objective

To provide students with basic knowledge about concrete structures and constructions design from viewpoint of the static.
To gain ability for design of the principal types of structures of building construction and civil engineering together with preparing relevant technical drawings.

Knowledge

A student gains these knowledge and skills:
• Knowledge of the principles of static solution of concrete structures and constructions.
• Virtue for designing principal types of structures of building construction and civil engineering together with the ability of preparing relevant technical drawings.

Syllabus

1.-2. Types of concrete structures of water-service buildings. Monolithic frame structures, supporting frame structures of tanks and water reservoirs (outline, calculation, nodes, redistribution, strain).
3.-4. Foundation structures – footings, continuous footings, grids, slabs, deep foundations.
5. Two-way slabs – edge supported.
6. Two-way slabs locally supported (flat-slabs, slabs with enlarged column head). Circular plates.
7. Simple and continuous wall beams. Walls with/without stiffening elements. Retaining walls.
8. Principles of design and reinforcing of storage structures (bunkers and silos). Rectangular and rotary symmetric tanks and water reservoirs.
9. Problems of water-service structures cracking.
