Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
After completing this subject, students will be able to understand and apply the following skills and topic areas:
- design and assessment of plane and space reinforced structures (flat slab without girders, walls, tanks, bunkers, silos);
- interaction models, FEM analysis of strip, grid and slab foundation with regard to interaction of subsoil, design and assessment of pile foundations;
- concrete floors
- basic principles of pre-stressing;
- FEM utilization for design and reliability assessment of concrete structures.
Recommended Optional Programme Components
Common optional components are not offered, students of special interest can participate in departmental activities or can arrange consulting hours with lecturer.
