Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Prerequisites
This course requires a good knowledge of materials, strength of materials, mechanics of structures and stability of constructions as taught in courses LGCIV1031, LGCIV1022, LGCIV1023.
Main themes
See part 'Content' hereunder.
Content
Topics are discussed in the context of calculations in service (elastic behavior hypothesis) and rupture (plastic behavior hypothesis). The design methods presented refer to the rules prescribed in the current European standards (Eurocode 2).
History of reinforced concrete
Mechanical and physical properties of concrete
Mechanical and physical properties of reinforcement steel
Basic principles of calculation of reinforced concrete structures
Structural safety and limit states
Fundamental principles of bending calculation
Behavior of a beam led to rupture by simple bending
Elastic calculation and calculation at break of the sections subjected to the simple bending.
Section subjected to a simple compression
Sections subjected to the composite bending, elastic design and plastic design.
Sections subjected to shear force
Sections subject to torsion
Shear forces at interfaces between 2 concrete zones
Punching slabs
Slender elements subjected to compression (buckling)
Serviceability limit states: limitation of the stresses in service, limitation of the cracking, arrows.
Plastic calculations by means of tie-rods
Technological aspects of reinforcement of reinforced concrete elements
