Objective

Purpose of the course:
The knowledge and skills you will need in this course will enable you to design load-bearing reinforced concrete structures for demanding class applications.

Course competences:
Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge and understanding of the applicable analytical, design and research/engineering techniques and methods and their limitations in your area of specialisation. The ability to communicate effectively information, ideas, problems and solutions within the engineering community.
Communication and teamwork: ability to function effectively as an individual, team member and entrepreneur.
Interdisciplinary skills: ability to keep abreast of scientific and technological developments.
Practical application of technology: the ability to analyse complex technical products, processes and systems and to correctly interpret the results of such analyses, with the ability to select and have the practical skills to apply well-established analytical, computational and experimental techniques and methods appropriate to the situation.

Course objective:
You will be able to design and dimension reinforced concrete structures of demanding class in the ultimate limit state. You will be able to design the stiffening of the frame also in precast form. You will be able to design the fire performance of structures and take into account the prevention of continuous collapse of buildings.
These are also the basic tasks of the course.
