MABY4500 Sustainable Concrete Structures Emneplan

The course deals with selected topics related to the durability and service life of important infrastructures such as bridges, quays and offshore installations with service life requirements of more than 50 years. Degradation and damage caused by corrosion is an important topic in the course, but other relevant degradation mechanisms are also addressed. The course provides in-depth studies in topics such as:

• transport and degradation mechanisms for reinforced concrete
• service life calculations and service life design of concrete structures
• condition assessments, residual service life and service life extension of existing concrete structures.

Grade scale A - F.

Admission requirements.

The bachelor´s thesis is a research and development work in the field of occupational therapy and occupational science. Philosophy of science and research methodology knowledge and skills are recurrent topics in the bachelor´s thesis work.

The course consists of the following subject areas from the national curriculum, specified below as the number of credits:

• Ideas, theory and experience (3 ECTS)
• Philosophy of science and research methodology (3 ECTS)
• Research and development in occupational therapy (6 ECTS)
• Health-promoting and preventive work (1 ECTS)
• Rehabilitative work (1 ECTS)
• Ethics (1 ECTS)

The students must have attended at least three of four seminars and have individual reflection notes approved (approx. 5-7 pages per note) linked to the seminars they have attended. Students who fail to meet the coursework requirements can be given up to one opportunity to resubmit reflection notes before the exam.

Portfolio assessment subject to the following requirements:

1) Project report prepared in groups of 2-3 students, approx. 50-75 pages, with oral presentation, weighted approx. 70 %. Individual project reports can be accepted in exceptional cases in agreement with the course coordinator.

2) Individual in-depth report, approx. 10-15 pages, with oral presentation, weighted approx. 30 %.

Each student's work will be assessed together as a portfolio with one individual grade at the end of the semester, but the two parts that make up the portfolio must be assessed as 'pass' in order for the student to pass the course. The weights are approximate and included here to provide additional information to the students on how their work is assessed. Detailed guidelines for the project assignments will be published in Canvas.

The overall assessment cannot be appealed. Formal errors can be appealed. If a student fails the portfolio assessment, he/she is given one opportunity to resubmit the Portfolio.

All aids are permitted.

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.

Two internal examiners. External examiners are used regularly.
