Content
Structural analysis
- Reminders on the analysis of isostatic structures
- General information on hyperstatic structures
- Calculation of hyperstatic structures (method of forces)
- Load combinations and envelope diagrams
Design of reinforced concrete structures and timber structures
- Ultimate limit states and service limit states
- General information on reinforced concrete
- Tension and compression
- Pure bending
- Shear forces
- Bending and compression
Each part, relating to the design of reinforced concrete structures, will also include an explanation of construction details and real-life examples. For each topic, similar elements designed in precast reinforced concrete will be presented.

Teaching methods
The course includes a part of theoretical lessons ex-cathedra, a part of the course dedicated to exercises and the development of a structural design exercise.
Evaluation methods
The final assessment consists of a calculation report (in groups or individually) to be carried out during the course (hours of the course will be devoted to this activity) and a written exam. The calculation report counts for 4/20 of the final grade, and the written exam for 16/20.
Other information
More detailed information about the course and evaluation procedures will be explained during the first lesson and will be contained in the "Plan du cours" (downloadable from MOODLE).
