Summary
Students are supposed to achieve knowledge in design of simple reinforced load bearing structures, including stairs structures, one-way slabs and two-way slabs and knowledge in design of simple foundation structures, including food foundation and strip foundation under load bearing wall. Students are acquainted with basic design of masonry structures.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students achieve knowledge how to design simple reinforced load bearing structures and are acquainted with basic design of masonry structures.
