Course abstract

Aim of study course are gain knowledge about basic principles of reinforced concrete / masonry structures are acquired. Gain information about importance of reinforcement in concrete structures.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowladge - Students gain knowledge about the types of reinforced concrete and masonry structures, the design methods, and rules for detailing and drawings – examination.
Skills – students will be able to design reinforced concrete beam, floor and column and will understand efficiently for different type of reinforcement – examination. Competence – students will be able give opinion about reinforcement location in simple beam, floor and column – examination.

Course Content(Calendar)

10 Practical work: Introduction of independent work, real examples and discussions (6h).
Part-time extramural studies:
All the topics intended for full-time studies are covered, yet the number of contact hours is ½ of the specified number of hours.

Requirements for awarding credit points

The assessment procedure of the student’s competence takes place during the entire semester that ends with the examination. The following order in the assessment procedure is compulsory:
1.Lectures must be attended (80% or more); course project must be completed and defended .
2.Then students are allowed to take the exam. The course is passed when the exam is passed successfully.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Independent works. Students carry out detailed drawings of reinforced concrete structures designed individually.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The examination consists of one topic from content of the current study course. Student fails examination, if he/she cann’t demonstrate the basic knowledge and understanding on course content. The attendance of the lectures must be at least 80%. If a student is late for an activity or his/her absence is justified, 50% of attendance is assigned. If the total attendance of a student is less than 80% of the maximum possible, an independent work will be assigned.
