Multi Storey Buildings of Concrete

• Analyze structural and statically model for a multistorey building
• Evaluate possible load combinations
• Calculate internal forces in multistorey buildings by using elasticity theory and plasticity theory
• Design and dimension plates and beams in precast elements
• Design and dimension walls and columns in precast elements
• Design and dimension joints in and between structural elements
• Reflect on and motivate chosen solutions
• Present and explain the group cooperation

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

41236/62263, The student must have passed all obligatory courses regarding Mechanics and structural engineering in 1. – 4. semester.

Presentations and assignments, leading to the course project
Students presentations and discussions. Self tuition
External professionals. Excursions. Study tour
Course Projects are carried out in groups of 2 – 4 students. Supervisors contribute to the group formation that integrates foreign and Danish students.

Research Group: Building Technology and Processes
Building and Civil Engineering: optional
Arctic Civil Engineering : optional

The assessment is based on the course project carried out during the course, and a presentation and discussion about the project, related to the professional subjects of the course.
