Learning Outcomes

OB1: Apply reinforced concrete principles and concepts in the analysis and design of structural elements.

OB2: Verify the safety of concrete cross-sections according to ultimate and serviceability limit states.

OB3: Analyse and evaluate reinforced concrete elements regarding cracking, deformation, bending, and shear behaviour.

OB4: Design reinforced concrete beams according to structural and safety requirements.

OB5: Design one-way reinforced concrete slabs considering structural actions and performance criteria.

OB6: Apply reinforced concrete design methods to small and medium-sized structural systems.

OB7: Interpret structural behaviour and select appropriate solutions for reinforced concrete construction works.
