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
