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.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. 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. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
