Course Content
Overview of course subjects, where the students can delimit and plan the project work:
Mandatory:
Determinations of loads, statically models, statically determined and undetermined disc structures.
Internal forces in basement structures: Elasticity theory and plasticity theory
Structures carrying capacity: concrete slabs, concrete beams, concrete columns and concrete walls
Joints: design and carrying capacity
The project work must be done according to the subjects above and approved by the professors
