Educational goal:
Acquiring superb theoretical and practical knowledge for more precise prediction of behaviour of concrete members and structures by using the appropriate rheological models, with the aim of achieving optimal results during their design, construction and maintenance. Enabling students to analyse and design concrete members and structures by taking into account rheological properties of concrete according to modern principles.
Educational outcome:
Students possess superb theoretical and practical knowledge for more precise prediction of behaviour of concrete members and structures by using the appropriate rheological models. 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.
Course content:
Rheology of fresh concrete and the influence of individual components on shrinkage and creep. Laws of deformation of idealised bodies (Hooke’s, Newton’s, Saint-Venant’s, Maxwell’s, Kelvin’s, Bingham’s) and their combinations within the selection of an appropriate rheological model. Fundamentals of viscoelasticity and its adaptation to reinforced, prestressed and post-tensioned members and structures. Theory of concrete aging. Stress-strain relationships and the application of step-by-step methods for the analysis of long-term processes in concrete members and structures. Rheological-dynamical analogy.
Teaching methods:
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.
