Course description and aims
The elastic and plastic behaviors of the concrete and steel currently most extensively used as structural materials of a high-rise building are explained. In particular, the three-dimensional stress and strain, the three-dimensional constitutive laws (Hooke’s law), the three-dimensional plasticity theory of steel, and the failure criteria of concrete under multiaxial stresses are discussed to acquire an appropriately evaluating knowledge of an analytical result by a three-dimensional FEM. The basic knowledge on nonlinear behavior of concrete and steel is developed to understand the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete beams and columns.
Student learning outcomes
Students learn the elastic and plastic behaviors of the concrete and steel in three dimension field. Knowledge on the yield criteria of steel and failure criteria of concrete are obtained. Nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete beams and columns can be understood.
Keywords
three dimensions, stress, strain, constitutive law, yield criteria of steel, failure criteria of concrete, flexural behavior or RC members, shear behavior or RC members
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
The instructor gives lectures with some interaction with students. Solutions to the homeworks are discussed in the beginning of each class to review the recent lectures. Then new topics are introduced for the rest of the class.
