❗ Good Physics and Mathematics background
Description
Reinforced Concrete Elements Design — British StandardManual Design of Slabs, Beams, Columns and Foundations to BS 8110, BS 6399 and BS 8004
Master the manual design of reinforced concrete elements the way structural engineers were trained before software took over — by hand, from first principles, using British Standard codes still in active use across the UK, Africa, and much of the Commonwealth engineering world.
This course takes you step by step through the complete design process for the core elements of any reinforced concrete building:slabs, beams, columns, and foundations— all worked manually toBS 8110 (Structural Use of Concrete), with loading derived fromBS 6399 and retaining/earth-pressure considerations fromBS 8004.
Rather than treating software output as a black box, you'll learn to calculate, verify, and understand every step: load takedown, moment and shear analysis, reinforcement design, deflection and crack width checks, and detailing — the exact skills examiners, chartership panels, and senior engineers expect you to demonstrate independently.
What you'll learn
✅ Load assessment and combinations to BS 6399
✅ Manual design of one-way and two-way spanning slabs
✅ Beam design for bending, shear, and deflection
✅ Column design for axial load and combined axial-moment cases
✅ Foundation design, including axially loaded and eccentrically loaded (moment-carrying) pad foundations
✅ How to interpret and apply BS 8110 design charts and formulae correctly
✅ Detailing principles for reinforcement in slabs, beams, columns, and footings
Who this course is for
⭐ Civil and structural engineering students and graduates
⭐ Trainee and junior structural engineers preparing for professional practice or chartership
⭐ ngineers who rely on software (ProtaStructure, ETABS, Tekla, Robot etc.) but want to understand — and be able to check — what's happening underneath
⭐ Anyone working in jurisdictions where British Standards remain the governing design code
