Content
Structural analysis
- Reminders on the analysis of isostatic structures
- General information on hyperstatic structures
- Calculation of hyperstatic structures (method of forces)
- Load combinations and envelope diagrams
Design of reinforced concrete structures
- Ultimate limit states and service limit states
- General information on reinforced concrete
- Tension and compression
- Pure bending
- Shear forces
- Bending and compression
Each part, relating to the design of reinforced concrete structures, will also include an explanation of construction details and real-life examples. For each topic, similar elements designed in precast reinforced concrete will be presented.

Teaching methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
The preferred form of teaching is in presence. However, due to the current health crisis, the course may take place in co-modal mode or totally online.
Evaluation methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
Each student's final rating is the average of two ratings. The first evaluation concerns a structural design work on a design problem assigned by the teacher at the beginning of the course. This work can be done in groups. The second evaluation concerns a written examination on the topics carried out in the classroom. On both assessments, the teacher sets a minimum threshold of 6/20 below which the student cannot have a positive final assessment.Due to the current health crisis, the written exam could be conducted in the presence or online, or it could be replaced with an oral examination (online).
Other information
More detailed information about the course and evaluation procedures will be explained during the first lesson and will be contained in the "Plan du cours" (downloadable from MOODLE).
