Basics of Reinforced Concrete Manual Design | ACI Standards

Dear student, In this course, you will learn the basics of reinforced concrete manual design per ACI Code Standards.

We will go through the fundamental concepts of concrete and steel and its design, such as the properties of concrete, the stress-strain diagrams, and load calculations for building design.

Additionaly, we will go through solved examples in the design of Solid Slab, Beams, and Columns, in addition to the Concrete technology and Concrete Mix Design, and the proportion of concrete admixture according to ACI 211.1 -22.

You will master the knowledge in these topics:

• Manual Concrete Mix Design Per ACI 211.1-22 Method

• ACI 318-19 Load Combinations

• Dead Load, Live Load and Super Dead load On Slabs

• Slab Ultimate Area Load Calculation
