Aim is to enable students to understand and quantify effects of connection flexibility on load responses of composite structures under short-term and long-term external actions, and to develop ability to understand how connection behaviour influences analysis and design approaches for composite structures in general. Key aim is to see these concepts at work in context of steel-FRP, concrete-FRP and steel-concrete composite structures, where connection behaviour changes significantly.
Aim is to enable students to understand advantages and dis-advantages of prestressed concrete relative to reinforced concrete. Also to identify and quantify different sources of loss in pre-tensioned and post-tensioned concrete systems.
