Prefabricated Concrete Structures for Healthy and Sustainable Built-Environment
About the course
Can be taken as a single subject. Minimum students are 3.
Start date of the course will be announced during the semester. Course duration is 5 weeks.
The course TEK-2802 Prefabricated Concrete Structures for Healthy and Sustainable Built Environment provides students with fundamental knowledge and practical skills for the analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures, with emphasis on prefabrication and sustainability. It covers key topics such as structural design philosophy, loading conditions, and the behavior of concrete members under tension, compression, bending, and shear. Students learn flexural design principles, including ultimate and serviceability limit states, as well as the design of structural elements such as beams, slabs, and columns. The course also integrates tutorials and coursework to strengthen applied understanding, supporting the development of safe, efficient, and sustainable structural solutions in modern construction.
Admission requirements
A relevant undergraduate Bachelor Engineering program with minimum 25 credits mathematics, 5 credits statistics, 7,5 credits physics
Recommended prerequisites: Basic knowledge in chemistry and physics
Objectives of the course
By the end of the course the student will be expected to be able to:
1) Identify the common construction material used in concrete structures
2) Critically evaluate mechanics underlying the design code
3) Perform structural design by using mathematics, mechanics and structural analysis tools
4) Design structural elements following design codes and engineering practices independently
5) Solve practical design problems with uncertainties.
