Content of Learning Activity

Strength pre-dimensioning of concrete sections: M, V, N compression, N traction, M+N

Precast concrete floors (BA and BP hollow-core slabs, beams & joists): processing technology, calculation

Case study B1: horizontal division of an existing building for change of use
Case study B2: integration of a parking lot under the public space to reinforce the green urban fabric

Cast concrete floors (pre-slab, formwork): installation technology, moment estimation (Johansen), calculation

Case study B3: use of hyperstatic slabs to reduce the quantities of concrete and steel required in an R+6 building

Concrete walls: technology, estimated forces (connecting rod and tie rod), calculation

Case study B4: raising the height of a building and impact on the wind reaction of the central core

Prestressing: pre-tensioning & post-tensioning, installation technology, cable layout, balancing, evolution of internal forces
