Aims

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

Exercise

13 weeks, 2 hours/week, compulsory

Syllabus

  • 1. Cast-in-place RC framed structure - preliminary design of dimensions, scheme of shape of structure, load, loading states for internal frame.
  • 2. Calculation of internal forces of the frame.
  • 3. Calculation of internal forces of the frame - continuation, combination of loads.
