Learning outcomes / Competences

• Understanding the effectiveness of prestressing, which also forms the basis of advanced courses in the civil engineering master's degree course,
• Handling of the mechanical relationships for prestressed concrete, which need to be enhanced compared to reinforced concrete,
• Ability to determine stresses and deformations for statically determined structures in serviceability range and to apply basic verification procedures in the ultimate limit states,
• Getting to know the method of strut-and-tie models as a special tool for structural analysis and design of concrete structures,
• Ability to design and reinforce details of reinforced concrete members applying individual strut-and-tie models,
• Getting to know the characteristics of planning and executing structures build with precast concrete elements.

Teaching contents

• Building materials, bond, durability, cross-sectional values,
• Member with axial prestressing, prestressing of bending members, losses of prestress, admissible prestress force,
• Ultimate limit states: bending with axial force, shear.

• Fundamentals of strut-and-tie models, design of struts, ties, and nodes,
• Examples of use: diaphragm beam, frame corner, corbel etc.

• Applications, transport and assembling, frame construction, industrial buildings,
• Pocket foundation, block foundation, shear at the interface between concretes cast at different times, partially precast slabs.
