Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Critically appraise the physical, material and structural properties of fresh and hardened concrete under varied loading and environmental conditions.

LO2: Analyze the non-linear mechanical/structural behaviour of concrete and reinforcement.

LO3: Critically appraise reinforced concrete durability, main causes and mechanisms involved in RC deterioration and assessment/rehabilitation techniques of RC affected by corrosion, with a view towards enhancing sustainability of concrete construction.

LO4: Examine elements of the background and development of advanced structural Eurocodes.

LO5: Apply and critically assess principles of design for reinforced and prestressed concrete structures and components according to Eurocodes EC0, EC1, EC2.

LO6: Apply and critically assess principles of design for composite steel-concrete structural elements according to Eurocodes EC0, EC1, EC4.
