MABY4500 Sustainable Concrete Structures Course description

Bacheloroppgaven skal være et selvstendig faglig arbeid og skrives i grupper på to studenter. Den kan være et frittstående arbeid eller inngå som en avgrenset, men selvstendig del av et pågående forskningsprosjekt knyttet til interne eller eksterne miljøer. Studentene får tildelt veileder som følger gruppene i hele prosessen. Veiledningen er organisert med rundbords-veiledning der flere grupper jobber sammen, samt ordinær gruppeveiledning. Det gis inntil 5 timer veiledning per gruppe.

Analysis and design of concrete and steel structures.

Det kreves minimum 80 prosent tilstedeværelse i introduksjon til emnet, seminarer og veiledning.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge:

The student:

· has advanced knowledge of relevant degradation mechanisms for steel and concrete and consequences for the service life and load-bearing capacity of structures.

· has in-depth knowledge of strategies, methods and calculation models used to achieve the prescribed service life (working life) of reinforced concrete structures.

· has in-depth knowledge of the structural consequences of reinforcement corrosion on the load-bearing capacity of concrete structures.

· is capable of assessing various measures to extend the service life and of using various calculation methods and models to estimate the remaining service life and capacity of existing concrete structures.

Skills:

The student is capable of:

· designing structures that fullfill the Eurocode requirements for durability and service life.

· carrying out service life predictions for concrete structures in marine environments.

· assessing the condition of and estimating the remaining service life and capacity of a relevant concrete structure.

· proposing measures to extend the service life of and repair methods for a relevant concrete structure

· carrying out capacity control of a damaged concrete structure or component.

General competence:

The student is capable of:

· acquiring new knowledge in the field and communicating it orally and in writing.

· understanding and analysing scientific publications on the topic of durability and service life of concrete structures.

· applying theories in practice based on scientifically justified choices of relevant solutions.

Alle

Gradert skala A-F.

Ekstern og intern sensor vurderer alle besvarelsene.

Assessment part: 1) all aids, 2) all aids.

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used in connection with the final assessment.

1) and 2): Two internal examiners.

External examiners are used regularly.
