- To teach methods for ensuring the safety and stability of structures against earthquake forces.
- To cover the serviceability considerations for uncracked sections when designing special structures.
- To demonstrate how to optimize concrete thicknesses and reduce reinforced steel usage through the application of prestressed concrete and post-tensioned slabs.
This Advanced Analysis and Design of Reinforced Concrete using ACI Code training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. Videos and photos will be used for illustration.
This Energy training course distributes the time spent on the theory and mathematics of analysis from a side and the use of practical methods and workshops from another side, along with the understanding of how and why such methods work.
-
Cost Reduction in Engineering: By strengthening delegates' ability to independently handle design tasks, organizations can reduce engineering costs.
-
Enhanced Optimization of Concrete and Steel: Attendees will gain skills to critically assess and apply advanced techniques, leading to optimized concrete sections and steel ratios for more economical designs.
-
Boosted Design Efficiency: The course will enhance participants' design expertise, enabling organizations to streamline their design processes and ensure timely project completion, thus improving overall project delivery.
Participants will develop a comprehensive understanding and hands-on experience with a variety of commonly used modeling, simulation, and predictive analytical techniques, all of which are highly applicable to numerous specialized challenges. Specifically, delegates will gain:
- A deep understanding of the analysis and design of special structures
- Knowledge on maintaining the serviceability of uncracked sections
- The ability to recognize when a specific technique may result in inaccurate conclusions
- The skill to identify which types of analysis are most appropriate for addressing particular issues.
This Advanced Analysis and Design of Reinforced Concrete using ACI Code training course has been designed for professionals whose jobs involve the design of special structures, pre-stressed or posttension in addition to uncracked sections. This training course involves extensive modelling and analysis and therefore delegates must enjoy detailed working analysis and design calculation to solve complex problems.
This Energy training course will also be beneficial for senior level civil and structure engineers who have already who needs to have in-depth skills about the structural engineering activities and how to co-operate in the design phase.
