Enabling students to apply principles and methods for calculating and dimensioning reinforced concrete cross sections and elements.

Knowledge and application of principles and methods for calculating and dimensioning reinforced concrete cross sections and elements. Necessary fundamentals for other professional courses in the field.

Review and development of concrete and reinforced concrete structures and technical regulations. Concrete and reinforcement, joint work (physical properties, sectional distribution of reinforcement, shaping the reinforcement, anchorage and continuation of reinforcement, local stresses). Ultimate states. Ultimate limit states: methods to determine the effects (linear theory, linear theory of limited redistribution, nonlinear theory, the theory of plasticity). Working relationships for concrete and reinforcing steel, stress-strain fields of RC-section, partial safety factors. Design of RC-sections: bending moments and axial forces, transverse forces and torsional moments. Interaction diagrams. Buckling of RC columns. Strut-and-tie method.

Lectures, exercises, consultations, preparation and defense of the project.
