Teaching Staff:

lect.drd.ing. Vlad Petrescu, asist.drd.ing. Basarab Cheşcă

Learning outcomes:

Understanding of strength and stability requirements in the design of architectural objects.
Knowing the specificities of reinforced concrete structural walls structures and masonry structures behavior
Learning the general conformation rules and preliminary architectural and structural design of reinforced concrete structural walls structures and of masonry structures.
Learning of foundation soils characteristics and soil-structure interaction.
Knowing of some basic rules for preliminary design of reinforced concrete slabs and foundations.
Knowing of specific terms and drawing rules.

Content:

Reinforced concrete structural wall under vertical and horizontal loads
Reinforced concrete structural wall with opening at first floor / wall beam. Reinforced concrete structural wall small, medium and large openings. Reinforced concrete cores.
Floors. Main role, classification, requirements. Timber floors, steel deck, ceramic floors.
Reinforced concrete slab design rules.
Masonry. Masonry design rules. Materials for masonry structures.
Masonry strength under centric loading, behavior stages and failure mechanism, masonry deformations under loads. Shear and tensile strength of masonry. Buckling.
Design of masonry structural walls under vertical loads. Plain masonry walls; Confined and web reinforced masonry. Masonry walls behaviors under horizontal loads. Foundation soils. The content of a geotehnical study. Simple foundations for frame structures.

Teaching Method:

Theoretical speeches supported by supervised practical applications.

Assessment:

Two interim evaluations (Practical applications) - 40%
Final exam - 60%
The marks for each of the two components should be at least five in order to pass the exam.
