Advanced Structural Concrete
Content
Fundamentals (structural analysis, theorems of limit analysis, applicability of limit analysis methods); shear walls and girders (stress fields and truss models, deformation capacity, membrane elements with yield conditions and load-deformation behaviour, computer-aided structural design); slabs (equilibrium solutions, yield conditions, shear and punching shear); long-term effects; steel fibre reinforced concrete (mechanical behaviour, applications); fire behaviour.
Learning objectives
Within this course, the students are able to:
- deepen their understanding of structural concrete models and apply them to general design problems, including the assessment of existing structures.
- enhance their knowledge about the load-deformation response of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.
- identify and assess the limits of applicability of limit analysis methods.
- recognise the assumptions of models suitable for computer-aided structural design and use structural concrete design softwares in a critical way.
- evaluate the long-term behaviour and the behaviour under fire conditions of concrete structures.
- assess the behaviour of steel fibre reinforced concrete structures.
