Finite element modelling of concrete structures

Intended learning outcomes

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

• Explain the principles for concrete frame systems.

• Design reinforced concrete structures in the serviceability stage.

• Explain the theoretical background of fracture mechanics implemented for concrete.

• Design reinforced concrete beams using the finite element method.

• Explain the causes of cracking of newly cast, massive concrete structures and be able to asses the risk of crack formation and to recommend actions for crack reduction.

• Design concrete structures with respect to material properties and durability.

• Explain cracking strength, residual strength, ductility index and the residual strength factor.

• Explain the modes of action of bonding shotcrete, rock anchored shotcrete and shotcrete arches.

• Calculate the load bearing resistance of bonding shotcrete and rock anchored shotcrete in some simple cases.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

Documented knowledge in Structural Mechanics, Structural Engineering and Concrete Structures equivalent to at least 22,5 ECTS corresponding to the content in courses AF1006, AF1005, AF2003 and at least 3 ECTS from AF2101.

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

Recommended prerequisites

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

Literature

You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.

Examination and completion

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

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • 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.

Other requirements for final grade

All parts need to be passed
