GD008) Basic Information
Course specification
Course is active from 01.10.2007.. Precondition courses
Enabling students for designing special concrete structures with diverse purposes: engineering structures, bridges, multi-storey buildings and large-span halls. Likewise, enabling them for applying the software for linear and nonlinear analysis, prevalently by introducing material nonlinearity. Enabling students for conceptual and detail designing of significant concrete structures, with prestressing (complete and partial) and cables inside and out of cross section. Calculation methods will also include contemporary tendencies in precast building technology, i.e. production precast and precast monolith building, thus enabling students for the analysis of such structures. Conceptual and detail design (analysis, shaping elements and structures, as well as shaping details): reinforced concrete (RC) and prestressed (PS) structures of the skeleton system buildings with and without stiffening, buildings with bearing walls and complex systems, as well as large-span halls and complex structural systems; RC and prestressed structures of beam and arch bridges with diverse building methods: cantilever with segment and monolith building method; RC and PS reservoirs and towers. Designing from conceptual to detail formation of the listed structures for individual load and action combinations including accidental actions (fire, vehicle impact, gas explosion in buildings, strong earthquakes, land subsidence i.e. foundation structure settlement). Application of programmed behaviour method in designing buildings and bridges. Designing will include special concrete foundation structures: RC diaphragms and pile foundations. Auditory teaching, in computer laboratory; seminar paper by students done with consultations with the mentors, which will be publicly presented in front of their colleagues (seminars).
