Reinforced Concrete I

General

Course Contents

• Historical overview of the use of reinforced concrete (R/C) as a building material and the regulatory
provisions that prescribe its application. Introduction to the individual materials of reinforced
concrete and their properties
• Design loads. Presentation of the limit state method
• Structural design of building elements (reinforcement covers, anchorages, laps, etc.)
• Introduction to the dimensioning of structural elements for normal stress values
• Dimensioning of reinforced concrete beams in bending and shear
• Dimensioning of reinforced concrete columns in uniaxial and biaxial bending
• Dimensioning of beams in shear

Educational Goals

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Understand the properties and mechanical behavior of materials (concrete, steel).
2. Identify the limit states used in structural design and apply appropriate combinations of actions.
3. Design linear reinforced concrete members (beams, columns) in the ultimate limit state for normal
stress (bending with axial force).
4. Design linear reinforced concrete members (beams, columns) in the ultimate limit state for shear.
5. Apply reinforcement and detailing rules for linear structural elements in accordance with the
current regulations.

Students Evaluation

1. Assignment of tasks aimed at exploring the understanding
of the concepts taught (30%).
2. Final written exam (in Greek) at the end of the semester
(70%).
3. Each student is given the opportunity to review their
written exam and have their mistakes analyzed.
