Program Overview

AF2101 Concrete Structures

The course AF2101 Concrete Structures is a 7.5 credit course that covers various aspects of concrete structures, including reinforced concrete beams and columns, concrete slabs, pre-stressed concrete, bonded concrete overlays, and laboratory testing.

Course Contents

The course contents include:

• Reinforced concrete beams and columns
• Concrete slabs
• Pre-stressed concrete
• Bonded concrete overlays
• Laboratory testing

Intended Learning Outcomes

After completing the course, students should be able to:

• Explain the function of common structural elements of reinforced concrete and illustrate this with drawings and sketches
• Explain the theoretical background to the yield line theory and the strip method for the analysis of reinforced concrete slabs
• Calculate the load bearing resistance of rectangular reinforced concrete slabs on walls according to the yield line theory, table method, and strip method
• Calculate the load bearing capacity of rectangular reinforced concrete slabs on columns according to the strip method
• Explain punching of a concrete slab on a column
