Syllabus

  • 1. Reinforced concrete structure - preliminary design of dimensions, schematic shape of the structure, loading, load cases for an inner frame.
  • 2. Calculation of inner forces in the frame.
  • 3. Calculation of inner forces in the frame - continuation, load combinations.
  • 4. Dimensioning of the ledge - bending moment.
