Course curriculum

1. Principle, behaviour and sorting of concrete members. Influence of concrete components on properties of concrete. Structural properties of concrete (strength, elasticity, deformability) – influencing factors.
2. Variability of mechanical physical properties of concrete. Types of concrete and reinforcement – their interaction. Theory of concrete structures calculation – load, requirements, action conditions, durability.
3. Ultimate strength – principle of calculation, conditions of solution. Design of bended members – modelling, behaviour and mode of failure. Dimensioning of sections stressed by bending moment – general and simple method.
4. Dimensioning of sections stressed by bending moment – rectangular one-way and two-way sections, special sections.
5. Dimensioning of sections stressed by bending moment – common sections. Sections stressed by bending moment in incline plane.
6. Dimensioning of sections stressed by shearing force.
7. Arrangement of reinforcement in a girder – structural principles. Reinforcement of bended structural members.
8. Principles of design and reinforcing of simple structural concrete members – plate girders, beams, girders, lintels and cantilever structures.
9. Dimensioning of sections stressed by bending moment and normal force (principle of solution, interactive diagram).
10. Dimensioning of sections stressed by bending moment and normal force (impact of slenderness, compressioned members).
11. Dimensioning of sections stressed by combination of axial force and bending moments (tensioned members, transversal deflection with axial force, principles of reinforcing).
12. Principles of sections dimensioning for different stresses (torsion, local stress, etc).
13. Volume changes of concrete (creep, shrinkage, temperature changes).
14. Fabrication of concrete structures.
