Content and qualification aim:

• concrete properties which are of relevance for design
• load bearing behaviour under multi-axial loading
• special characteristics of the material concrete as a basis for modeling
• design methods for reinforced concrete (RC) members according to existing codes and technical regulations including methods for plausibility check
• special strengthening methods for reinforced concrete members and their calculation models, e.g. shotcrete, steel lamellae, FRP systems or TRC for strengthening

After having finished the module successfully students are able to purposefully decide on material parameters for concrete, to check results of calculation software for plausibility as well as to design and calculate strengthening measures of existing RC structures.
