Contents and qualification objectives:
The content of the module is the design, construction and dimensioning fundamentals of reinforced concrete construction as well as the essential models for the verification of typical reinforced concrete components.
Upon completion of the module, students will have knowledge of the calculation models for load-bearing capacity under stress due to bending, longitudinal force, shear force and torsion, as well as their combinations, based on the strength, deformation and composite properties of the materials concrete and reinforcing steel. Included are the stability checks for displaceable and non-displaceable systems. Furthermore, they know the parameters characterizing the service condition (cracking, deflections, creep and shrinkage deformations, stresses). Furthermore, they master the principles of anchorages and connections. Upon completion of the module, students will be able to design, construct and dimension common reinforced concrete cross-sections and structural members. In particular, this includes bearing areas, frame nodes, frame corners, and concentrated force applications.
Students understand how prestressed concrete works and are familiar with common prestressing methods. The special features and advantages compared to classic reinforced concrete are recognized. Students will be able to calculate the effects of prestressing on the internal forces in the structure (prestressing load case, friction and wedge slip, shrinkage and creep) and to design and construct prestressed concrete members.
Teaching methods:
5 SWS lecture and 3 SWS exercise.
Prerequisites for participation:
The competences to be acquired in the modules of the basic studies (BIW1-01 to BIW1-11) as well as fundamentals of design (BIW2-01) and statics (BIW2-02) are assumed.
Usability:
The module is a compulsory module in the undergraduate diploma program in civil engineering. It creates the prerequisites for the modules BIW3-02, BIW4-05, BIW4-09, BIW4-11, BIW4-12, BIW4-16, BIW4-17, BIW4-21, BIW4-52, BIW4-66, BIW4-76 as well as BIW4-77.
Prerequisites for Award of Credit Points:
Credit points are earned when the module examination is passed. The module examination consists of a written test (180 min).
Pre-requisite for the examination is an assignment in the amount of 60 hrs.
Credit points and grades:
8 credit points can be acquired through the module.
The module grade results from the grade of the written examination.
Frequency of module:
Module is offered every academic year, starting in the winter semester.
Workload:
The total workload is 240 hours.
Duration of Module:
5th semester: 2 SWS lecture and 1 SWS tutorial
6th semester: 3 SWS lecture and 2 SWS tutorial
