Acquiring superb theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of the design of complex concrete structures according to the current trends and enabling students for their analysis and design in modern engineering practice.

Students possess superb theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of the design of complex concrete structures according to the current trends in modern engineering practice. They are able to solve problems of different levels of complexity on their own, as well as in communication and interaction with others, with the innovative approach and application of modern and self-developed software tools. They are entrepreneurial and can lead interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary projects of different complexity by respecting the ethical standards of their profession. They are able to independently initiate co-operation at the national and international level.

Characteristics of individual phases of design of reinforced concrete and prestressed structures in modern engineering practice. Selection of appropriate materials, layouts and structural systems. Rheology of concrete and constitutive models. Application of finite element method in static and dynamic analysis of linear and nonlinear systems, vibration and fatigue analysis. Current trends, experiences and recommendations for the design of long-span and high-rise structures: roofs, canopies, stadiums, arenas, skyscrapers and towers.

Lectures, consultations. Theoretical and practical parts of the study material are presented at lectures through presentations of individual thematic units, followed by the appropriate examples from engineering practice for the sake of easier perceiving and understanding. During the course students are referred to the contemporary literature. On the basis of their interest the themes for seminar papers are assigned to them. Seminar papers are written through independent research work. By using the literature students expand knowledge from the selected scientific area, develop the ability to see their place and role in the chosen field, and perceive the need for teamwork and cooperation with other professions.
