Syllabus

1. Scale and subject of concrete structure design – input data, essential actual codes, regulations. 2. Scale and subject of concrete structure design – project documentation (types, technical report, static calculation, drawings). 3. Details and specific cases in dimensioning of masonry, reinforced concrete and prestressed members. 4.–5. Details and specific cases in design of structural and civil engineering, load-bearing structures and elementary bridge structures. 6. Software for dimensioning and drawings of profile and reinforcement and for load-bearing structures design. 7.–8. Modelling of the civil and structural engineering load-bearing structures and elementary bridge structures on computer. 9.–11. Design of selected reinforced and prestressed structural member.

Exercise

13 weeks, 2 hours/week, compulsory

Syllabus

1. Determination of vertical alignment in terrain. 2. Post-tensioned bridge beam: Design of bar model, cross-section, design of prestressing force on the bar model with the help of equivalent load. 3. Live load on a bar, application of post-tensioned cable. Cable layout on a bar, progressive construction. 4. Short-terms and long-terms losses of prestressing. Correction. 5. Trapezoidal bridge slab: Design of RC slab model of variable height, loads distribution. 6. Live load on a slab, check of calculation, determination of minimum reinforcement area. 7. Calculation of non-linear deflection influenced by the cracks, reinforcement and creep. 8. Design of prestressing force on a slab model with the help of equivalent load, cable layout in a slab, short-terms losses of prestressing. 9. Pedestrian bridge formed by half-through girders combined with concrete slab: Design of a slab model with the bars on eccentricity (ribs), variable height on a bar, utilization of the areas of rib. 10. Reinforcing: Utilization of programme RECOC. Correction. 11. Project submission. Credit.
