This course provides the basics structure analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures. Moreover the attendees will be aware of update technology for the modern technique in structure analysis and design for the reinforced concrete structures for low and high rise building. All the structure system will be presented to enable the engineer to choose the suitable structure system. The comparison between BS and ACI in concrete design will be presented to know the difference between the codes and the philosophy of the codes to choose between the parameter. The design tips and the checklist in review the concrete design will be provided through a case study.
