Course abstract

Aim of study course – gain knowledge about basic principles of reinforced concrete structures. Gain knowledge about reinforcement role in structural elements.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge: student will be capable to understand role of reinforcement in structure - attendance of the lectures.
Skills: students will be capable for simplified calculation of reinforcement in structural concrete elements- individual work (design problem).
Competence: students have ability to determination and rational placement of reinforcement in concrete elements- credit test.

Requirements for awarding credit points

Attendance of the course activities – at least 80% of total volume or completed and defended design problem (independent work).

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Independent works. Students carry out their individuals works on existing reinforced concrete floor load capacity according to existing reinforcement.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

To pass the course, all the requirements regarding the attendance must be fulfilled. If the total attendance of a student is less than 80% of the maximum possible, additional independent works will be assigned.
