Course detail

Concrete Structures I

FAST-L31Acad. year: 2019/2020

Monolithic concrete structures – one- and multi-storey frame structures and their structural elements. Stairs and staircases, cantilevered structures.
Design of the members from plain and underreinforced concrete.
Serviceability limit states of structures from reinforced, underreinforced and plain concrete - control of deflection, control of crack width.
Spread foundations - pads, strip under continuos wall and under single columns, combined footings, grid foundations.
Construction and expansion joints in concrete structures. Concreting by exceptional conditions.
