The course will be delivered on the web using Zoom.
Reinforced concrete stands as the primary cornerstone of the construction industry. Most undergraduate courses in reinforced concrete design focus on essential but basic structural elements, including the ultimate limit state design of conventional beams, one-way and two-way slabs, and short columns in buildings, as well as the fundamental understanding of the serviceability limit states related to deflection and cracking. However, the undergraduate civil engineering curricula do not cover many practical but very useful designs of typical reinforced concrete structural elements. This CPD series of courses on reinforced concrete design is organized to fill the gap between academia and industry, providing practicing engineers with in-depth knowledge in the day-to-day design of reinforced concrete.
This half-day Web-CPD course focuses on the analysis and design of reinforced concrete shear walls and coupled shear walls. It explores the fundamental structural behavior and technical principles governing their designs to provide clear interpretations and practical insights. Design examples are presented to demonstrate the detailed procedures for designing these critical reinforced concrete structural elements.
Course Outline:
Design of reinforced concrete shear walls
Special design issues: Design for shear and detailing for ductility
Coupled shear wall systems: Coupling effects and method of analysis
Common types of coupling beams: Structural behavior and design
