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.

While the basic design of reinforced concrete columns involves simple axial compression and uniaxial bending in rectangular sections, numerous common applications fall outside this conventional scope. These specialized elements include circular columns, columns subjected to bi-axial bending and slender columns. This course provides the methodologies required to confidently design and detail these critical elements. Practical, worked examples are presented to illustrate in detail how to conduct the designs of circular columns, columns subjected to biaxial bending and different types of slender columns.
