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.

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.

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.
