Learning outcomes / Competences

• Ability to transform a real structure/member into a static model,
• Proficient determination of internal forces taking into account the basis of design and the safety concept,
• Understanding the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete members, which also forms the basis of all advanced courses in the field of structural conrete,
• Understanding the mechanical background of the different verification procedures for reinforced concrete members in the ultimate limit states,
• Ability for structural design and detailing of simple reinforced concrete structures.

Teaching contents

• History of structural concrete,
• Basis of design and safety concept,
• Modelling and load flow,
• Building materials, bond, durability, basic rules for detailing of reinforcement,
• Ultimate limit states: bending with axial force, shear, torsion,
• Determination of internal forces, curtailment of longitudinal tension reinforcement, anchorage of longitudinal reinforcement, laps and mechanical couplers.
