General description and relevant information <div><p>The course is scheduled to be taught in person and this presence will be maintained if the regulations that may be issued by the health authorities and other competent bodies do not say otherwise, and the capacity requirements allow it. If there are changes they will be reported to the Moodle space of the subject.</p><p>This subject introduces the student to the calculation and design of reinforced concrete structures. The resistant and deformational behavior of the concrete sections under different stress states is analyzed in depth.</p></div>

  Description
Introductory activities Summary and bibliografy presentation
Lecture Theoretical topics will be explained by sepecific master sessions
Problem solving, exercises in the classroom Problems and practical exercises of each subject will be proposed and solved
Assignments The students will do three group assingnments:
The first one will consist of research and typological analysis of historic buildings with reinforced concrete structure. The conclusions will be explained in classroom.
The second will consist in the calculation and sizing of a reinforced concrete portico.
The third one will consist in the development of a spreadsheet for the resolution of reinforced design problems in sections with simple and complex uniaxial bending. The results will be explained in classroom.
Personal attention Resolució de consultes sobre la temàtica teórica o sobre la seva aplicació pràctica
