Introduction:

Concrete structural design focuses on applying engineering principles to create safe, durable, and efficient concrete structures. It involves analyzing loads, selecting materials, and ensuring that structures meet safety standards and performance requirements. This training program offers specialized instruction tailored for professionals involved in designing concrete structures for industrial applications. It will allow engineers to be familiar with using American Concrete Institute Standard (ACI) and British standard (BS).

Program Objectives:

At the end of this program, participants will be able to:

Explore reinforced concrete design principles and the differences between design codes (ACI, BS, European Code).
Apply design principles to slabs, beams, and columns, considering various load types.
Conduct soil investigations and design foundations for static and dynamic loads.
Design special structures like blast-resistant buildings, control rooms, and pipe racks.
Design reinforced concrete liquid tanks and manage maintenance and repairs for concrete structures.

Targeted Audience:

Civil Engineer.
