Objectives

- To understand the theories and models of analysis of framed structures, slabs and foundations under service and ultimate load conditions.
- To discuss the detailing rules to be applied, as specified in the regulations for concrete structures.
- To initiate the students in the design of reinforced concrete structures, of the types described above.

Program

1. Serviceability limit states. Behaviour of structures under service load conditions. Shrinkage and creep effects. Durability of structures. Service limit states of cracking and deformation.
2. Design of columns with regards to instability (second order effects).
3. Analysis and design of framed structures. Models for structural analysis. Simplified methods for structural analysis and verification. Specific rules for the design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures. Examples.
4. Design of slabs and stairs. Analysis of slabs. Design of flat slabs. Waffle slabs. Design of stairs.
5. Concrete foundations. Introduction. Column footings and wall footings. Foundations shared by several columns and inverted slabs as foundations. Pile caps.

Teaching methods and learning activities

All the matters of the discipline are presented during theoretical classes, where the theories and models are introduced, together with the resolution of some representative practical exercises. The practical exercises to be solved by the students are discussed during practical classes.

Evaluation Type

Eligibility for exams

A positive "classification of frequency" is attributed to the students that:
(i) Develop appropriately the application exercises proposed for the practical classes, and don´t exceed the allowed maximum number of lacks (25% of the practical classes).
(ii) Have obtained a positive "classification of frequency" in 2004/2005 or 2005/2006, and request it explicitly to the teachers of the discipline.

The application practical exercises consist on the resolution of a set of problems involving the many subjects of the discipline. Along the semester the works elaborated by the students should be provided to the teacher of the practical classes, which will promote their analysis and discussion. At the end of the semester the teacher of the practical classes will inform each student of the "classification of frequency".

On May 30, 2006, at 18h, the "classification of frequency" will be published. Being this positive, and fulfilled the limit of lacks referred in (i), the student has frequency to the discipline, being allowed to perform the written examination referred in (ii).

Calculation formula of final grade

Normally the final classification on the discipline is computed as the average of the "classification of frequency" and the "classification of the valid written examination" (the best of the written examinations according to the General Norms of Evaluation, with a minimum of 8 values on a scale of 20). However, the following exceptions are introduced:
(i) If the "classification of the valid written examination" is superior to the "classification of frequency", a final classification equal the classification of the written examination will be attributed.
(ii) The final classification cannot exceed in more than 2 values (on a scale of 20) the "classification of the valid written examination".

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

For the students not formally complied to guarantee the "classification of frequency", under particular conditions certified by the Secretary of DEC (working students, etc.), elaboration of the practical works that are the basis of the "classification of frequency" is not compulsory. Accordingly, these students will be submitted to a written examination, where they must get a minimum of 9.5 values on a scale of 20. The final classification may be complemented by an oral examination, if requested by the teachers.
