Abstract

Contents: Introduction, historical development of structural concrete, materials and material behaviour (cement, concrete, reinforcing steel, prestressing steel), linear members (axial force, flexure and axial force, compression members and columns, shear, bending and shear, torsion and combined actions), strut-and-tie models and simple stress fields, detailing, basic aspects of membrane elements.

Objective

Knowledge of the materials concrete and reinforcing steel and understanding their interaction; Understanding the response of typical structural members; Knowledge of elementary models and ability to apply them to practical problems; Ability to correctly dimension and detail simple structures.
