Courses Prof. David RuggieroReinforced concrete structures (english)This course introduces the student to the behaviour and design of reinforced concrete structures. The student will learn the principles of analysis of reinforced concrete and how to design common concrete elements including columns, beams, and slabs.Reinforced concrete structures – advanced topics (english)This course will focus on advanced behavioural modelling of reinforced concrete through analytical and numerical methods. It will build on previous studies to further the student’s understanding of the mechanics of reinforced concrete at the material, element, and structure level. Dr. Emmanuel DenariéStatics I (french)Developing an understanding for static systems. Solution of isostatic systems in terms of reaction forces and internal forces (NVM diagrams)Engineering of existing structures (english)The engineering of existing structures encompasses the examination of condition and load-carrying capacity, decision criteria, and methods for rehabilitation or strengthening. This course presents the bases necessary for this approach at the level of materials and structural response.Materials and structures (french)Starting from the basic knowledge of concrete technology, this course provides the relationships between the composition, processing, microstructure and structural properties of “new concretes”, with a special emphasis on Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (UHPFC).UHPFRC for structures – Fundamentals & Properties (english)This course aims at giving students the fundamental knowledge necessary to design, model, and apply Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) in structures, in a sustainable way. It provides an extended and comprehensive insight into engineering and science of these materials.
