Objectives
This course has the purpose of providing basic information on reinforced concrete structures, focusing namely on the durability of reinforced concrete and on the design approach adopted in the Eurocodes, based on the verification of safety to limit states.In the course, the analysis of structural elements (e.g. ties, beams and columns) is presented using the concept of ultimate and serviceability limit states. Detailing of such elements is also addressed.
Attention is also given to the design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures under seismic and fire actions.
Prerequisites
It is assumed that the students have acquired the concepts taught in Strength of Materials I and II.

Teaching method
Each week this course
The student is obliged to do home work.
Laboratory test of a reinforced concrete beam subjected to bending.

Written exam NE, grade = 0 to 20 (≥ 7.5).
3. Works and classroom participation
Problem solving sessions Ac(P) and Lectures Ac(T)
Ac(P) = 0 to 20.
Ac(T) = 0% to 100%.
