Learning outcomes: The course regards to the design of RC beams, one way slabs and columns, comprising the sizing rules under bending, shear and torsion (beams) as well as simultaneous action of bending, and axial force (columns) with regard to ultimate load and serviceability limit states.
Competences: Proficiency in calculation of reinforcement and loading capacity of beams, slabs and columns subjected to bending moment, shear and axial force as well as familiarity with reinforcing rules for elements discussed within course.
Prerequisites: Undergraduate course in structural mechanics, mechanics of materials, concrete technology.
Course content: Concept and idea of concrete reinforcement. Historical background. Material properties-concrete and steel. General characteristic of RC design principles (limit state approach), EC2 and national version. Design of beams (rectangular and T section) with regard to ultimate load limit state under bending, shear and torsion. Single- and multi-span one-way slabs and beams. Design of columns subjected to axial force and bending. Compression: general rules, slenderness and stability. Design with regard to ultimate load limit state for rectangular section. M-N interaction diagrams. Confined columns. Tension: design with regard to ultimate load limit state for rectangular section. Limit states of serviceability - deflection of RC beams, cracking in reinforced concrete.
