Recommended basis for the course is Master's level in Structural Engineering, including MSc courses in Concrete Structures. The course should be of interest for
Course organization
The course is a part of the course program in the National graduate school in Structural Engineering within "Sveriges Bygguniversitet". The course venue is Chalmers.
Advanced concrete engineering deals with structural materials, components, connections, structural systems and special applications of reinforced and prestressed concrete. Issues related to different phases are treated such as conceptual design, design and detailing, production, operation and assessment. The course content is complementary to education about concrete structures at undergraduate and masters levels.
The content of the course can be described with the following main areas:
- material behaviour, mechanics and modelling of various types of concrete, reinforcement and prestressing units,
- behaviour, modelling, design and detailing of components and connections in concrete structures,
- solutions with regard to efficient use of resources and sustainability during production and operation
After the course the participant should be able to
- describe the field of concrete engineering, its challenges and possibilities,
- demonstrate advanced and up-to-date specialised knowledge in a limited area of this field,
- communicate fundamental knowledge in the field of concrete engineering in a pedagogical way,
- relate their own research topic or development work to the field of concrete engineering, and
- demonstrate the ability to review and evaluate research work withing the area.
Recommended basis for the course is Master's level in Structural Engineering, including MSc courses in Concrete Structures. The course should be of interest for
- PhD students, teachers and researchers in structural concrete,
- practising structural engineers specializing in concrete engineering.
