Handbook

A dynamic course in the design of reinforced concrete structures to AS3600-2018 and international standards using advanced methods of analysis and design. The course will build on what you have learnt in preliminary reinforced concrete design (e.g., CVEN3304 Concrete Structures) covering both new structural elements and new analysis and design techniques. If you are planning to work in a structural consulting firm, then the knowledge and skills earnt in this course will be invaluable. Topics covered will be chosen from: concrete materials, failure theories, models and behaviour under load; design using linear stress analysis; strut-and-tie modelling; torsion; serviceability; detailing and special provisions for the use of high strength concretes; collapse load methods for the design of regular and irregular slabs which are of relevance and use for professional structural engineers.
