The course provides key design techniques and practical application aspects from L&T’s decades of expertise in designing structures. The course takes the learner through the typical process in designing reinforced concrete buildings particularly those about 10 storeys tall. This advanced course provides the experience of designing reinforced concrete buildings as it happens in any design office. The course covers schematic design of gravity and lateral load resisting systems in a reinforced concrete building, when to choose a particular system and how to size various components (slabs, beams, columns, shear walls). It also includes calculation of loads and analysis of structure, design and detailing of reinforcement in various components in a hands-on manner.
