| 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. | |

| 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. | |
