There are 4 modules in this course

This course is designed to familiarize learners with various aspects of reinforced concrete building design, offering a multifaceted approach to enhance their skills. This comprehensive course explores crucial aspects of structural engineering, covering architectural drawing interpretation, and scheme setting. The course will cover common floor systems such as continuous two-way slabs and flat slabs, as well as drop panel design, sizing considerations, and edge beam functions. The module then shifts focus to reinforced concrete columns, emphasizing critical considerations in their location, sizing, and architectural significance. Lateral load systems, including shear walls, are explored in compliance with IS 1893 standards. Additionally, learners gain practical proficiency in ETABS modeling for multi-storey buildings and SAFE modeling for detailed floor system design, ensuring a holistic understanding and application of structural design principles.

This module covers essential aspects of structural scheme setting and design for buildings, focusing on interpreting architectural drawings, scheme design for reinforced concrete buildings, and floor systems. Learners will explore popular concrete floor systems such as flat slab systems and continuous two-way slabs, delving into sizing considerations, drop panel design, and the role of edge beams. The module provides practical insights into beam structures and edge beam sizing, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of structural design principles for effective application in engineering projects.

Frequently asked questions

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
