Study Guide

Objective

After completing the course, the student can:
- Determine if bending, cover layer, spacing and anchoring requirements are met for a design
- Sizing beams against bending moments and shear
- Design single-way bent plates according to bending and shear, and cut the reinforcement into continuous plates

Content

- Common designations and symbols
- reinforcement anchor, cover layer, bending radii etc.
- Design against bending
- Design against shear
- reinforcement cutting
- drawings & drawing symbols
- Creating simple calculation bases
