Exercise

13 weeks, 2 hours/week, compulsory

Syllabus

  • 1. Introduction to the programme of the practical lessons, conditions and requirements for the credit, individual assignment of a monolithic structure that will be dealt with during practical lessons throughout the semester.
  • 2. Assignment, contents and structure of technical guidelines for an assigned monolithic structure – the main output from the practical lessons, produced and discussed throughout the semester, complemented by supplementary work produced in the following practical lessons.
  • 3. Calculation of concrete curing time after formwork removal, time schedule, inspection and test plan – all for the assigned monolithic structure as part of the technical guidelines.
  • 4. Formwork design for the assigned structure produced manually or using available software – ground plan, characteristic sections, details, lists of elements.
  • 5. Engineering economics study aimed at determining the most economical option from the aspect of concrete, salary and formwork costs.
  • 6. Individual assignment of an example of the rehabilitation of a reinforced concrete structure – e.g. reinforcement of a beam, a design proposal, calculations.
  • 7. Evaluation and checking of assigned tasks from practical lesson 6.
  • 8. Evaluation of assigned tasks, defence of proposed solutions.
