AF2101 Concrete Structures 7.5 credits

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

After having passed the course the student should be able to:

• Explain the function of common structural elements of reinforced concrete and be able to 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

Eng B/6 according to the Swedish upper secondary school system.

Documented knowledge in Differential Equations corresponding to the content in course SF1676 Differential Equations with Applications.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• TEN1 - Examination, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• ÖVN1 - Exercises, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

TEN1 - Examination 4.5 credits, grade scale A-F

ÖVN1 - Exercises 3.0 credits, grade scale P,F
