Course Description

1. Relevance of steel-concrete. Anchoring and connections of reinforcement bars.
2. Reinforced concrete slabs, types of slabs, one-way slabs, two-way slabs. Pseudostatic loads (Czerny Tables), strip method (Marcus Tables). Sizing and structural configuration of reinforcement for two-way, three-way, and four-way slabs. Calculation of stress magnitudes in slabs with adverse loads. Special topics on reinforced concrete slabs: openings on slabs, concentrated loads, slabs with ribs, slabs directly supported on columns.
3. Limit state of failure due to perforation.
4. Wall dimensioning.
5. Foundation elements: introduction, types of foundations, shear check of piles, bending design, construction configuration.S
6. Sizing of linear elements based on the limit state of failure in torsion.
    

Learning Outcomes

• With the successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
• Calculate the anchorage lengths and the connections of reinforcement bars.
• Solve and size two-way, one-way, three-way, and four-way slabs.
• Solve slabs with the application of unfavourable loads, with concentrated loads, with openings, with ribs, with direct support on the columns.
• Check the levels of reinforced concrete elements for the limit state of failure due to punching.
• Form walls of reinforced concrete.
• Explain the basic elements for all types of shallow foundations.
• Perform shear and bending design checks on individual piles.
• Calculate the required reinforcement in reinforced concrete elements subjected to torsion.
