This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Analysis and Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures. It covers the reinforced concrete structures and principles of reinforced concrete design; the codes and standards for design; the load considerations and analysis methods, flexural analysis of beams and basic design of slabs; the advanced flexural design of beams, shear and torsion in beams and deflection control in beams and slabs; designing a one-way and two-way slabs; and the best practices and standards for detailing of reinforcement in beams and slabs.
Further, the course will also discuss the differences in design approach for short and long columns under axial loads and bending; the interaction diagrams in the design of reinforced concrete columns; the considerations and methodologies for the design of slender columns subject to buckling; the types, design considerations, and detailing of reinforced concrete walls for structural and seismic requirements; and the foundation design basics, seismic design principles and ductility requirements and detailing for seismic resistance.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the seismic analysis methods, equivalent static force and dynamic analysis methods and designing of structural elements for seismic loads; the performance-based seismic design and systematic methods and techniques for retrofitting existing reinforced concrete structures; the durability and fire resistance of reinforced concrete structures; the principles and design of prestressed concrete elements; and the approaches and materials for sustainable reinforced concrete construction.
