Objectives: The course aims to give students a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of reinforced concrete structures, also with regard to the basic concepts of seismic design. Acquired skills: - The students will be able to gain an understanding of the structural and seismic design principles Lectures and exercises Topics Reinforced concrete structure design Reinforced concrete structure design Reinforced concrete structure design Reinforced concrete structure design Reinforced concrete structure design Earthquakes and ground shaking Seismic design Seismic design Seismic design Seismic design Structural modelling and FEM Slabs and deep beams Prestressed concrete structures Structural design Specific contents Ultimate load and service load structure behaviour Strength and ductility Limit design, Moment redistribution and plastic hinge rotation Design procedures for structures under vertical load Structural systems for lateral loading Tectonic plates, faults, earthquake magnitude and intensity, characteristics of ground shaking Response of single degree of freedom system to lateral loading Seismic action, response spectra Equivalent lateral force procedure, Modal superposition techniques, Non linear static analysis, Dynamic inelastic time history analysis Collapse mechanisms, structural ductility, capacity design, detailing. Introduction to Finite element analysis, examples of FEM analysis Slab elastic analysis, reinforcement detailing criteria. Deep beam elastic analysis, Strut and Tie models Concrete and steel mechanic characteristics, prestress types, loss of prestress force. Cables layout. Elastic and ultimate limit state behavior. During the course Students will develop structural design of a reinforced concrete building in a seismic area. 12 6 6 10 4 6 6 4 8 12 6 16 12 8 116 8 Further educational activities Labs Tutorials / Seminars Workshops Guided tours hours 4 hours
