Student will learn the problems of the course and will get under controll the course aims, within the meaning of obtaining knowledge and skills in the field of special topics of design and realization of concrete structures, concretized in the course schedule (foundations, tanks, containers, pipelines).

geotechnics, structural mechanics, theory of elasticity, design of concrete members and structures

Co-requisites are not required.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Education runs in the forms of lectures and trainings. Character of the lectures is based on definition of basic principles, problems and methodology. In the trainings the main subject matters are trained on individually defined projects (examples).

To gain the credit, the students should elaborate individually defined design and calculate specified task. The students are obliged to consult the design continuously in the given terms and submit it to the fixed date. The presences in training lessons are checked. An exam consists both of the written part, in which the task is elaborated, and the theoretical part. To pass the exam successfully, both parts should be accomplished.

1. Foundation structures as a part of the reliability system “subsoil – foundation – overground structure”. Results of geological survey. Foundations reliability. Limit states of subsoil and foundation structures load-bearing capacity according to ČSN and EN codes.
2. Interactive models of system: subsoil – foundation – structure above foundation. Comprehensive and simplified interactive system. Modelling of subsoil and foundation structures. Software Soilin.
3. Shallow foundations. Distribution of contact stress in footing bottom. Detail design of footings from plain and reinforced concrete. Detail design of uniformly pressed continuous footing.
4. Shallow foundations. Detail design of grid and mat foundations, slabs.
5. Shallow foundations. Footings of precast structures (pocket foundation) – detail design. Toroidal and shell foundations. Box and massive blocks foundations.
6. Deep foundations. Limit states of subsoil and pile. Pile foundations, group of piles, footings above piles.
7. Deep foundations. Anchored and non-anchored underground concrete walls.
8. Foundations dynamically loaded. Response of machines on dynamic load action.
9. Foundations in the clearances and in the special conditions. Foundation structures at reconstructions.
10. Design of storage structures (bunkers and silos). Structural arrangement, pressure of fillers, principles of solution. Dimensioning and reinforcing of individual member of storage tanks.
11. Design of rectangular and rotary symmetric reservoirs. Water reservoirs.
12. Design of channels and ducts.
13. Principles of structures and foundations design in the undermining areas.

Not applicable.

Design of different type of concrete load-bearing structures.
Design of foundations in conventional and special conditions.
Design of selected structures of engineering structures, containers, tanks, pipelines.

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.
