Learning Outcomes

OB1: Apply reinforced concrete design principles to the analysis and design of structural systems.

OB2: Verify the safety of reinforced concrete structures according to ultimate limit states, including punching and buckling phenomena.

OB3: Analyse the behaviour of reinforced concrete elements under different loading conditions.

OB4: Design reinforced concrete structural elements and systems for small and medium-sized structures.

OB5: Apply structural design methods to solve reinforced concrete engineering problems.

OB6: Select appropriate structural solutions considering safety, functionality, and construction requirements.

OB7: Interpret structural results and justify design decisions based on engineering principles.
