Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to know:
– Basic principles of dimensioning of composite steel-concrete structures.
– The mechanics of shear connection.
– The mechanical behaviour of bi-axial and continuous composite beams and plates, composite columns under biaxial bending combined with axial force, and composite connections.
– Fundamentals of seismic design of composite structures.
– Elements of the behavior of composite structural members and steel-concrete structural systems in reinforcement.
– The mechanical behavior of wood-composite slabs and beams.
– Basic concepts of composite concrete-composite action.
At the end of this course the student will have developed the ability to:
- To know the basic principles of dimensioning of composite steel – concrete structures.
- Calculate the strength, stiffness and slip at the shear connection.
- To perform the checks of the failure and serviceability limit states of amphibious and continuous composite steel-concrete plates and beams.
- To make checks for the failure limit state of composite steel-concrete columns.
- Understand the behaviour of composite steel-concrete connections in terms of strength and stiffness and make the relevant calculations.
- Make the calculations for the seismic design of composite structures.
- To relate the behaviour of reinforced concrete members reinforced with steel elements to the behaviour of composite steel-concrete members.
- Calculate the strength and stiffness of timber sandwich beams and slabs.
