Reinforced Concrete Design and Applications Course

Training Outlines

Introduction

Reinforced-concrete design brings together structural mechanics, material behaviour, safety requirements and construction practice. A satisfactory calculation can still perform poorly if load paths, cracking, deflection, durability or reinforcement detailing are not considered as one integrated design problem.

This five-day course develops practical design competence for civil and structural engineers. Participants will analyse and design beams, slabs, columns, walls and foundations; check strength and serviceability; and translate calculations into constructible reinforcement details. Worked examples emphasise engineering judgement and code-based design logic rather than dependence on software alone.

Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Interpret reinforced-concrete material behaviour.
Establish load paths and design actions.
Design flexural and shear members.
Analyse one-way and two-way slabs.
Design columns and structural walls.
Check serviceability and durability.
Detail reinforcement for constructability.
Complete an integrated concrete design.
