  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Civil Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G1

Aim:
The course intends to give basic knowledge of concrete- and geotechnical structures.After completing this course students should be able to
  • describe the basic principles of reinforced concrete structures in regard to common load situations and environment classes
  • design basic structures by using tables, formulas and handbooks and give an account of the calculations so they are easy to follow and understand
  • perform calculations of reinforced concrete structures in ultimate limit state and in serviceability limit state and geotechnical structures in ultimate limit state
  • design basic reinforced concrete structures subject to bending moment, shear force and normal force and calculate crack width and deflection
  • perform design of basic geotechnical structures such as foundation pads and piles together with an overview of retaining walls
  • use terminology, symbols and conventions adequately
  • estimate calculations with reasonable approximations
  • perform written reports together with reinforced drawings for two assignments
  • perform one laboratory work with written report


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Structural Mechanics and Strength of Materials. Building Technology basic course. CAD Technology 2D. Soil Mechanics.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The lectures content theoretical parts and solutions of typical problems, preparations for assigments and laboratory exercise. An educational visit provided any suitable object.

Course contents:
Concrete structures: Concrete- and reinforcement materials. Design subject to bending moment, shear force and normal force. Crack width due to bending moment. Design directions and design of reinforced concrete details. Reinforcement drawings. One-way and two-way slabs in accordance with standard methods. Punching. Walls of concrete, high beams. Foundations for walls and piles. Geotechnical structures: Design of foundation pads and piles. Retaining walls. Drawing instructions.
