Learning Outcomes
The student is able to design commonly used reinforced concrete structures and to understand the effect of yielding in hyperstatic concrete structures. The student is familiar with material properties of brick and mortar and knows the action of masonry structures under bending and compression. The student acquires a good knowledge of commonly used types of concrete and masonry structures and their physical function, as well as has the skill to consider durability.
Contents
