Cast In-situ structuresLaajuus (3 ECTS)

Objective

After completing the course the student is able to

perform the structural design of reinforced concrete slab
consider the correct method to solve the forces and moments in slab
perform the fire design of reinforced concrete structure
explain the functional behavior of different reinforced concrete structures and to perform the required structural design to verify the structures to have adequate load bearing capacity and safety margin.

Structures studied in the course are e.g.
- deep beams
- footings
- slab on ground
- stairs
- retaining walls
