Udemy – STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS

This course takes you step by step through the complete design process for the core elements of any reinforced concrete building: slabs, beams, columns, and foundations — all worked manually to BS 8110 (Structural Use of Concrete), with loading derived from BS 6399 and retaining/earth-pressure considerations from BS 8004.

Rather than treating software output as a black box, you’ll learn to calculate, verify, and understand every step: load takedown, moment and shear analysis, reinforcement design, deflection and crack width checks, and detailing — the exact skills examiners, chartership panels, and senior engineers expect you to demonstrate independently.

What you’ll learn:

• Load assessment and combinations to BS 6399
• Manual design of one-way and two-way spanning slabs
• Beam design for bending, shear, and deflection
• Column design for axial load and combined axial-moment cases
• Foundation design, including axially loaded and eccentrically loaded (moment-carrying) pad foundations
• How to interpret and apply BS 8110 design charts and formulae correctly
• Detailing principles for reinforcement in slabs, beams, columns, and footings
