Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures 2 (5 ECTS)

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student
• can design one-way and two-way slabs, slabs on ground, a wall, a wall like beam, stairs, footings, a beam subjected to torsion and retaining walls of reinforced concrete
• can carry out fire protection design of reinforced concrete by using tables
• understands the principles of the strut-and-tie method
• can make a building information model for an in-situ concrete structure and produce form work and reinforcement drawings from it.

Evaluation scale

0-5

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

The student is able to
• explain the behaviour of one and two-way reinforced concrete slabs
• design the main reinforcement of a one-way slab in ULS
• design the minimum reinforcement of a column
• design the reinforcement of a wall-like beam
• explain the design principles against punching
• explain how splitting forces are formed
• determine the load-bearing capacity of a column from tables
• create a building information model for a simple building with an in-situ reinforced concrete frame.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

In addition to the above, the student is able to
• design a reinforced concrete beam subject to torsion
• design a reinforced concrete column in ULS
• design usual reinforced concrete structures, such as one or two-way slabs, slabs on ground, foundations, retaining walls
• explain how splitting forces are formed, calculate the force in a given situation and design a structure against splitting force
• determine the fire-resistance period of reinforced concrete structures by using tables
• create a building information model for a building with an in-situ reinforced concrete frame in more demanding cases.
