Concrete Structures 2 (EVB)
FAST-BLA020Acad. year: 2025/2026
Reinforced concrete monolithic structures – one- and multi-storey frame structures and their structural elements. Design principles of cast-in-place foundation structures – wall footing, strip, grid and mat foundation. Precast structures – halls, skeletons, buildings from flat and spatial units. Type of units. Arrangement and details of connections. Design of precast units and structures. Design and application of composite structures within constructions of structural engineering. Selected structures of civil engineering – storages and tanks. Design principles of prestressed concrete members. Construction and expansion joints in concrete structures. Realisation and control of concrete structures.
