Summary
Students are supposed to achieve knowledge in design of advanced reinforced load bearing structures, including flat slab and circle slab and liquid retaining load bearing structure. Students are get to know soil – structure interaction models and design of foundation slab and space foundation. Students are acquainted with basic design using local strut and tie model.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students achieve knowledge how to design advanced reinforced load bearing structures and are acquainted with basic design using local strut and tie model.
