The course will be delivered on the web using Zoom.

Reinforced concrete stands as the primary cornerstone of the construction industry. Most undergraduate courses on reinforced concrete design focus on essential but basic reinforced concrete structural elements, including the ultimate limit state design of conventional beams, one-way and two-way slabs, and short columns in buildings, and the fundamental understanding of the serviceability limit states concerning deflection and cracking. However, many practical but useful designs of common reinforced concrete structural elements are not covered in the undergraduate civil engineering curricula. This CPD series of courses in reinforced concrete design is organized to fulfil the gap between academia and industry to provide practicing engineers with an in-depth knowledge in the day-to-day design of reinforced concrete. 

The design of reinforced concrete nibs in buildings and half-joints in bridges presents unique challenges due to their distinct structural behavior and complex stress distribution. This half-day Web-CPD course is specifically tailored to explain the fundamental principles, technical background and design procedures for reinforced concrete continuous nibs and half-joints. The course includes worked examples, demonstrating detailed design processes using both code-based methods and strut-and-tie models.
