Course detail

Monolithic Concrete Structures

FAST-LD2Acad. year: 2018/2019

Serviceability limit states of structures from reinforced, underreinforced and plain concrete - control of deflection, control of crack width.
Monolithic concrete structures – one- and multi-storey frame structures and their structural elements. Stairs and staircases, cantilevered structures.
Spread foundations - pads, strip under continuos wall and under single columns, combined footings, grid foundations.
Construction and expansion joints in concrete structures. Fabrication and control of concrete structures. Concreting by exceptional conditions.
