SCIA Engineer - Reinforced Concrete Building Design (Online) - 2x0.5 Days
Develop your knowledge of reinforced concrete (RC) design in SCIA Engineer and increase productivity. This online training course will give existing users (who are already comfortable with the basics) the confidence to perform everyday RC design tasks in SCIA Engineer. In this 1 day course, spread over two days, you will learn how to analyse and design a typical RC building using the software.
After a general introduction to the Concrete design tools, the training course will be based on a simple cast-in-situ RC building. Training will cover setting up the model for RC design, designing the RC members, and optimising the reinforcement. Understanding the finite element (FE) results and optimising the FE mesh is a significant part of this training course.
Course Objective
Efficient and autonomous use of SCIA Engineer for typical RC building design. Correctly create concrete members, understand the various analysis options, and confidently utilise the RC design tools. Completion will give attendees the ability to deal with typical RC design tasks according to Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1).
Who should attend?
Existing users of the software or past participants of our SCIA Engineer Fundamentals training course. It is an excellent course for existing users that want to use SCIA Engineer to design RC buildings or members.
Pre-requisites
- Familiar with in-situ RC structure design theory
- Confidently able to create basic 3D concrete models and review results using SCIA Engineer
- Installation of the latest SCIA Engineer release (click here and download the latest SCIA Engineer release)
- Licence for SCIA Engineer Concept Edition or higher
- A training licence can be provided with prior arrangement (min 1 working day notice required)
- A stable internet connection
What knowledge will you gain?
Our trainer will teach you how to use SCIA Engineer to design a typical RC building according to Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1). The points discussed during this training are:
- Modelling options to represent common concrete building analysis assumptions (e.g. shear walls or axial force only members)
- Analysis methods for transfer beams in linear analysis
- Optimising the FE mesh
- Interpreting results using the inbuilt result tools
- Explanation of the essential concrete design functions in SCIA Engineer
- Correctly setting up concrete building models
- Reinforcement design tools for beams, ribs and columns
- Reinforcement design tools for slabs and walls
- SLS checks and Code Dependent Deflection (CDD)
