CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES AND RULES COURSE

Abstract

This document deals with construction techniques and rules, and presents the various construction regulations and standards. In order to carry out our projects with a perfectly studied and controlled technical control, it is essential to know the distinct stages of establishment of reinforced concrete, metal and mixed structures, which represent the acts of engineering and it is the primordial imperative. The development of a project is conditioned by well-defined techniques; these are consecutive steps in sequence; from the preparation of the technical file through to site preparation, the construction of reinforced concrete structures as well as metal and mixed structures, right up to the acceptance of the work. All these steps are the subject of this course, without ignoring the introduction to the various earthquake-resistant regulations for safer constructions. This course is aimed at 3rd year Bachelor of Civil Engineering students, with the aim of introducing them to the process of designing and building structures, in order to facilitate and clarify their tasks in design offices and even on building sites. The construction operation was shown from a technical and technological point of view, and an introduction was given to the notions of the different regulations used in reinforced concrete, in accordance with the RPA. The present document is made up of six (08) chapters which will help our students to enrich their knowledge base previously obtained in the fourth semester. It is designed in accordance with the syllabus for the 2015. 2016 and approved by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. The course is structured as follows: chapter 1, project design techniques, chapter 2, site preparation techniques, chapter 3, reinforced concrete construction techniques, chapter 4, steel and composite structures, chapter 5, introduction to the various regulations. Chapter 6, RPA 2024 seismic regulations, chapter 7, verification of reinforced concrete structures, and chapter 8, specification of structural elements specification for the main elements.
