Course Overview
- Duration: 24 Hours
Steel Structural design
Junior Level
This course provides a fundamental introduction to the design of concrete structures, focusing on understanding structural systems, load transfer, and basic modeling. Participants will work on a practical project where they model a building and explain structural solutions.
Target Group
- Students and recent graduates
- Junior engineers
- Professionals transitioning into structural engineering
Practical Project
- Design of a simple reinforced concrete slab and beam system
Learning Content
- Introduction to structural systems
- Basic load understanding (dead load, live load, snow, wind)
- Understanding structural elements (slabs, beams, columns, foundations)
- Load transfer principles
- Introduction to Eurocode 2 philosophy
Learning Outcome
- By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain how a building works structurally
- Identify and describe load-bearing elements
- Create a basic structural model
- Understand fundamental design principles
- Present a project through a basic technical report
