Syllabus

Design Basis Parameters - Part A

This module provides a comprehensive overview of architectural and structural drawing interpretation, covering geometric parameters, site location considerations, and material specifications. The module not only imparts knowledge about design basis parameters but also cultivates the ability to identify and quantify these parameters for any given building or project, ensuring practical proficiency in reinforced concrete building design. The multifaceted benefits include enhanced comprehension of Indian code practices, practical application skills, and collaborative project experience.

Design Basis Parameters - Part B

This module delves into crucial aspects of structural design, covering exposure and cover requirements, fire rating considerations, member sizing, load combinations, and serviceability requirements specific to building structures. Learners will gain insights into creating comprehensive design basis reports for effective and compliant structural engineering in the built environment.

Load Calculations on Example Building

This module provides a comprehensive exploration of structural loads in building design, including dead loads, superimposed dead loads, live loads, and wind loads. The exposure provided enables learners to confidently apply these concepts, ensuring a comprehensive understanding and the ability to undertake a sophisticated design of reinforced concrete buildings.

Seismic Load Calculations

This module comprehensively covers earthquake loads. Learners will learn to predict and evaluate responses to earthquake excitation, compute design acceleration coefficients, determine seismic base shear, and apply seismic design parameters. The Equivalent Static Method for seismic analysis in building structures is explored.

Overview

This course offers a perspective on reinforced concrete building design, equipping learners with skills to interpret architectural and structural drawings, analyze geometric parameters, and understand material specifications. Learners gain practical proficiency in exposure, cover, fire ratings, load types, and seismic considerations, fostering a nuanced understanding of structural engineering. The curriculum emphasizes real-world application, incorporating analysis tools and design basis report

it was much beyond my expectation thanks to the Experts of this course

very good teacher and big love for all of you guys

Better if foundation design and global stability check for sliding and overturning added to this course. Thanking you Sir
