Course content
Review of fundamental concepts from EN 1990:2002, EN 1991-1:2002, and EN 1992-1-1:2004. Loads on slabs and their transfer to beams. Design of one-way and two-way slabs (ultimate and serviceability limit states). Design of beam, ribbed, and coffered slabs (ultimate and serviceability limit states). Review of shallow foundation principles (bearing capacity, settlement). Design of shallow foundations (footings and foundation slabs). Punching shear design at the ultimate limit state. Design of retaining and basement walls (stability analysis and reinforcement). Classification of columns and failure modes (massive vs. slender columns). Column design and interaction diagrams. Analysis of prestressed sections (stress and deformation distribution, neutral axis position). Design equations for prestressed sections in bending. Structural detailing of reinforcement and prestressing tendons (anchors, bonds, overlaps, and shortening).
