Exercise

26 hours, compulsory

Teacher / Lecturer

Ing. Jiří Strnad, Ph.D.

Syllabus

1. Cast-in-place RC framed structure – preliminary design of dimensions, scheme of shape of structure, load, loading states for internal frame. 2. Calculation of internal forces of the frame. 3. Calculation of internal forces of the frame – continuation, combination of loads. 4. Dimensioning of cross beam for bend and shear (stirrups, eventually also bends). 5. Curtailment of reinforcement of cross beam. Checking. 6. Dimensioning of one internal column. 7. Structural solution and dimensioning of single footing below internal column. 8. Drawings of reinforcement of the cross beam, single footing and column. Checking. 9. Serviceability limit states – deformation, cracks. 10. Two-way slab – preliminary design, load, internal forces, dimensioning – design of reinforcement. 11. Rebar or netting reinforcing. 12. Final checking. 13. Project submission. Credit.
