HS1014 Design of Civil Engineering Constructions 7.5 credits

The aim of the course is to provide students with a basic understanding of bridge and civil engineering structures, as well as in-depth knowledge of the design of concrete structures in accordance with Eurocodes. The course provides the necessary background for upcoming project courses, namely ‘Project-Infra’ and ‘Project-Hus’. The course focuses on design principles relating to different types of failure, as well as the calculation of reinforcement requirements with regard to serviceability limit states.

Upon completion of the course, the student shall be able to:

• Design reinforced concrete slabs in the ultimate limit state using the tabular method
• Design reinforced concrete beams in the serviceability limit state, concrete beams subjected to torsional moments, and concrete columns subjected to bending moments and axial forces
• Calculate anchorage lengths, shortening and splicing of reinforcement, and place reinforcement in concrete structures with appropriate size, configuration and splicing
• Design reinforced concrete structures taking into account indentation and cracking
  Identify and classify different types of bridges in terms of materials, design and structural systems, as well as associated load types, load cases and load combinations'
• Describe the significance of material selection for the environment and sustainable development

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.

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