Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS AT PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH THE BASIC METHODOLOGIES OF STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN, WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES. PARTICULARLY, IT DEALS WITH THE ANALYSIS OF FRAMES AND FOUNDATIONS AND THE DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE MEMBERS AT BOTH THE SERVICEABILITY AND ULTIMATE LIMIT STATES.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
KEY TOPICS, SUCH AS THE MODELS OF CONTINUOUS BEAM, SWAY AND NON-SWAY FRAMES, BEAM ON ELASTIC FOUNDATIONS, ARE PRESENTED AS THEY ARE BOTH COMMON TOOLS IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING AND REFERENCE CONCEPTS IN STRUCTURAL MODELLING.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
TO PASS THE EXAM, THE STUDENT SHOULD DEMONSTRATE A SOUND KNOWLEDGE IN DETERMINING THE STRESS DISTRIBUTION IN FRAME AND FOUNDATION STRUCTURES, DESIGNING AND CHECKING REINFORCED CONCRETE MEMBERS IN BOTH LINEAR AND NONLINEAR RANGE, MODELLING STRUCTURES AND ACTIONS FOR SMALL AND COMMON BUILDINGS.

MAKING JUDGEMENTS
THE ABILITY OF ANALYSING THE RESULTS OF STRESS ANALYSES AND DESIGN OPERATIONS WITH CRITICAL JUDGEMENT IS ONE OF THE KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
WORKING IN GROUP AND EXPLAINING THE KEY ASPECTS OF COMMON STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS ARE AMONG THE MOST IMPORTANT EXPECTED COMMUNICATION SKILLS.

LEARNING SKILLS
THE ABILITY OF APPLYING THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE TO SIMPLE AND COMMON STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS, ALSO IN SLIGHTLY MORE GENERAL SITUATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE ONES EXPLICITLY DISCUSSED IN THE COURSE.
Prerequisites
BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE IN MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS IS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES. PARTICULARLY, A SOUND KNOWLEDGE OF THE MECHANICS OF RIGID AND ELASTIC IS REQUIRED.
Contents
1. INTRODUCTION (2 HOURS);
2. THEORY AND TECHNIQUE OF RC SECTIONS AND MEMBERS IN THE LINEAR RANGE (16 HOURS);
3. THEORY AND TECHNIQUE OF RC SECTIONS AND MEMBERS IN THE NONLINEAR RANGE (30 HOURS);
4. ANALYSIS OF FRAMES (28 HOURS);
5. FOUNDATION BEAMS AND SYSTEMS (14 HOURS).
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE CONSISTS OF THEORETICAL LECTURES, CLASSROOM EXERCISES AND LABORATORY PRACTICES. WORKED EXAMPLES ABOUT THE THEORETICAL SUBJECTS PRESENTED IN THE LECTURES ARE DEVELOPED DURING THE EXERCITES.
Verification of learning
THE FINAL ASSESSMENT OF THE COURSE IS DONE VIA A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL EXAM. TO PASS THE EXAM, THE STUDENT SHOULD DEMONSTRATE TO HAVE UNDERSTOOD AND TO BE ABLE OF APPLYING THE MAIN TOPICS WHICH ARE PART OF THE COURSE PROGRAMME. THE FINAL MARK, WHICH IS EXPRESSED IN 30TH, DEPENDS UPON THE LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING ACHIEVED BY THE STUDENT AND THE CLARITY OF HIS ANSWERS DURING THE EXAMS.
