D0512 - Reinforced Concrete Detailing for Designers

Structural detailing and scheduling is the link between design and construction. It is the responsibility of the designer to specify design requirements and the responsibility of the detailer to produce and communicate the details in a clear and consistent way to the construction site or fabrication facility. Good detailing has far reaching effects and can have a significant influence on the technical correctness, safety, buildability and cost of structural design. This one-day course delivers the essential knowledge to aid designers in producing, procuring and managing the reinforced concrete detailing of their designs such that they contain clear and unambiguous detailing and scheduling for building structures. It will enable you to recognise and avoid the most common design mistakes in detailing practice, produce the necessary detailing information and communicate effectively with detailing professionals. You will also become aware of the challenges, opportunities and options for detailing common structural elements and the impact of Eurocode 2 on detailing practice. Incorporating the latest advice from the IStructE / Concrete Society / Dti 3rd edition of Standard Method of Detailing Structural Concrete, and Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures and complaint with current UK practice this course is a comprehensive introduction to Reinforced Concrete Detailing of Building Structures. The tutors comprise: A chartered Civil Engineer who has had a deep involvement with the development of UK and European codes for the use of structural concrete. He has wide ranging industry design and analysis experience, has published widely on both design and detailing and is a well known and widely respected industry consultant. A practising structural detailer with more than 20 years experience at all levels of detailing structural concrete. He has extensive knowledge of what is required for robust detailing and how to achieve it. He has worked for contractors and consultants and is currently a director of a detailing agency. He has also developed and delivered training in reinforced concrete detailing for leading construction industry clients. INTENDED FOR
