Reinforced Concrete Structures II

Strength of materials and reinforced concrete I

Theoretical-practical lessons of exposition; resolution of exercises; discussion (change ideas).
Evaluation: 3 minor-exams to be accomplished during the lessons (8 points in the range of 0 to 20; and it is optional).
Written exam to be carried out during the period of exams.
The student can choose not to do the 3 minor-exams or can do the minor-exams and choose not to account for the final result. In these cases, the final exam will be quoted for 20 points.
For the student who chooses to account minor-exams for the final result, the final exam will be quoted for 12 points. In this case, the final result will be the sum of the minor-exams result with the final exam result.
The approval requires the achievement of at least 9.5 in the final result and the minimum of 8 points (in the range of 0 to 20) in the final exam (for the students who choose to consider the evaluation of the minor-exams).

Objectives: Learn the theory and the practice related with the design and manufactured of reinforced concrete structures.
Generic skills: Application of knowledge and understanding; judgment accomplishment and decision making.
Specific skills: Acquire knowledge and understanding capacity in the field of reinforced concrete structures, at the level of design and manufacturing; continue to learn the fundamental principles on the behavior of reinforced concrete structures; increase the capacity to understand the common reinforced concrete structures; provide the students with new knowledge to deal with usual situations in the field of reinforced concrete structures (making judgments and developing solutions).

1. Torsion in reinforced concrete beams: compatibility and balance torsion; strength model in cracked phase; torsion moment resistant; detailing of reinforcement.
2. Punching: basic control perimeter; punching resistance; specific reinforcement for punching; punching with and without eccentricities; detailing of reinforcement.
3. Slabs (introduction): types and classifications: description of various types of slabs and presentation of several examples.
4. Slabs with ceramic elements and pretensioned elements: overview; checking the safety to ULS and SLS.
5. Concrete slabs: determination of the distribution of internal forces and moments; differential equation; theory of plasticity in slabs; design slabs; detailing of reinforcement; checking the safety to the ULS and SLS; stairs.
6. Direct foundations: Column footings (isolated, center and eccentric); column footing with balanced beams.
7. Considerations about SLS of reinforced concrete elements: cracking and deformation.
