Introduction of students with dimensioning of cross sections and design element methods of concrete and reinforced concrete structures in traffics: retaining walls, tunnel constructions, concrete slabs, etc. 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.

Enabling of students to independently apply acquired knowledge in the dimensioning of cross sections and design methods of basic and complex types of concrete and reinforced concrete structures: concrete slabs, retaining walls, tunnel constructions, etc. 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.

Dimensioning procedures for various stress states, based on the Theory of ultimate states according to European norms. Introduction with the methods of calculation of different types of concrete and reinforced concrete structures in traffics: retaining walls, tunnel constructions, slabs, etc.

Lectures. Consultations. Continuous monitoring of the knowledge level through study project design and exam. During the course students are referred to the contemporary literature. Study project is 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.
