Multi Storey Buildings of Concrete
Overall Course Objectives
The student must gain sufficient knowledge and understand the behavior of concrete structures, brickwork and internal forces in discs.
The student must gain skills in design of multistorey buildings constructed by using prefabricated structural elements
See course description in Danish
Learning Objectives

- Design and dimension joints in and between structural elements
- Reflect on and motivate chosen solutions
- Present and explain the group cooperation
Course Content
Overview of course subjects, where the students can delimit and plan the project work:
Obligatory:
Determinations of loads, statically models, statically determined and undetermined disc structures.
Internal forces in multistorey buildings: Elasticity theory and plasticity theory
Structures carrying capacity: concrete slabs and concrete walls, light weight concrete walls and brick work.
Joints: design and carrying capacity
The project work must be done according to the subjects above and approved by the professors
