Advanced Concrete Structures

• Understand plasticity in concrete and reinforced concrete
• Explain the requirements for plasticity in reinforced concrete.
• Understand the behavior of concrete structures with and without reinforcement. Understand and recognize the various failure modes and their ductility
• Perform lower bound analyses of concrete and reinforced concrete structures
• Understand and use plasticicty methods such as: The Stringer method; Strut and Tie modeling; Homogeneous stress fields; Yieldline method for plane stress and plane strain problems
• Perform upper bound analyses of concrete and reinforced concrete structures
• Perform reinforcement design for structural elements in concrete based on plasticity methods.
• Perform detailing of reinforcement layout in structural elements of concrete based on plasticity analysis.
• Perform calculations for pre-tensioned and post-tensioned concrete structures in short term response.
• Perform calculations for pre-tensioned and post-tensioned concrete structures in long term response.
• Calculate strain and stresses for prestressed concrete structures
• Calculate deformations for prestressed concrete structures

• Plasticity and limit analysis of concrete and reinforced concrete. Design and strength assessment by use of lower and upper bound methods. Practical application to disks, plates, beams and general plane stress and plane strain problems.

• Prestressed concrete structures with short and long term effects.
