Syllabus
Description
The course aims to teach students the following:
- Basic technological characteristics and mechanical properties of new construction materials (polymer composites, advanced cement-based materials).
- Basics for the pathology, damage and non-destructive testing of materials in existing structures.
- Design the strengthening of reinforced concrete members through the use of composite materials for basic cases: flexural strengthening, shear strengthening, confinement.
- Design the strengthening of masonry walls through the use of composite materials for basic cases: out-of-plane or in-plane flexure with axial loading, in-plane shear with axial loading, confinement.
- Design the flexural strengthening of timber beams through the use of fiber-reinforced polymers.
Objectives
The course aims to educate post-graduate students in the field of advanced composite materials and their applications as strengthening and seismic retrofitting materials of reinforced concrete, masonry and other structures.
Contents
Introduction to the use of high-performance cement-based materials and polymer composites in new construction: material properties and behavior, design issues, applications. Review of conventional materials and techniques for member-level and structure-level retrofit of reinforced concrete (RC) and unreinforced masonry (URM) structures. Seismic retrofit with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and cement-based composites: (a) Material properties, application techniques (externally-bonded, near-surface mounted and mechanically-fastened composites), basis of design, retrofitting strategies. (b) Behaviour, mechanics and dimensioning of RC members retrofitted in flexure, shear/torsion and through-confinement. (c) behaviour, mechanics and dimensioning of URM subjected to in-plane and out-of-plane loading. (d) Detailing, practical execution and quality control, durability. (e) Case studies and design examples.
Reading material
(1) Set of notes.
(2) Journal articles.
(3) Book chapters.
Grading
The final grade (FG) is calculated as follows: FG=0.7xFE+0.3xPS, where FE = grade in final exam and PS = grade in problem sets.
