Acerca de este curso

This introductory course presents the fundamental concepts of reinforced concrete design for civil engineering students and professionals. Learners will review material properties, structural loads, basic design assumptions, and the preliminary analysis of reinforced concrete beams, columns, and slabs.

The course includes practical examples, short exercises, and a final assessment based on a simplified structural design case.

What Will You Learn?

  • Understand the fundamental behavior of reinforced concrete structures.
  • Identify the mechanical properties of concrete and reinforcing steel.
  • Calculate dead loads, live loads, and tributary areas.
  • Apply basic structural load combinations.
  • Determine reactions, shear forces, and bending moments in simple beams.
  • Design a rectangular reinforced-concrete beam for flexure.
  • Calculate basic shear reinforcement and stirrup spacing.
  • Evaluate deflection, cracking, and other serviceability requirements.
  • Apply fundamental reinforcement detailing, anchorage, and development principles.
  • Recognize the structural behavior of one-way slabs, columns, and isolated footings.
  • Interpret basic reinforced-concrete structural drawings.
  • Complete a simplified reinforced-concrete design project.
