Design of Concrete Structures to EC2: Theory and Examples - This event has already finished

An event in Glasgow organised by Symmons Madge

31 March - 1 April 2010 - Glasgow

Details :
This two-day course describes the limit state design theories and their application to reinforced concrete structures. The course deals, in particular, with the requirements of EC2 and associated design models but also provides some comparisons with the previous code BS8110. The course includes design examples for a range of structural elements.

Course Contents:

  • Background to Eurocodes
  • Basis of structural design including limit state concepts, characteristic loads, characteristic material strengths and partial factors
  • Requirements for fire, bond and durability
  • Ultimate Limit State (ULS) Flexure of single and doubly reinforced beams
  • Serviceability Limit State (SLS) cracking and deflection
  • Shear in RC beams
  • Beams (Design example)
  • Flanged beams (Design example)
  • Slabs (Two way spanning design example)
  • Flat slabs (Design example)
  • Columns (short, slender and biaxial bending) (Design examples)
  • Simple Foundations (Design example)
  • Detailing requirements
Course Duration:

2 days (12 hrs) IPD/CPD

Fee:

£440 except for Belfast and Glasgow £460, Dublin £500 (exc. VAT)

All fees correct until end December 2010

All our courses can be offered as in-house training for further details please telephone: 01446 775959 or email: admin@symmonsmadge.co.uk

Intended audience :
Engineers who are relatively new to, or who wish to refresh their knowledge of, reinforced concrete design and its underlying principles. The course may also be of value to more experienced staff who wish to gain some knowledge of the European code for the design of concrete building structures.
