Reinforced Concrete Beam Design with RAPT

Practical design and analyse a reinforced concrete beam with RAPT (step by step modeling and design)

RAPT is a very powerful program for reinforced and pre-stressed concrete design of structural systems. This course includes a step-by-step a step by step modeling of a reinforced concrete beam in RAPT and you will learn, how to use this software in order to practically design and analyse a reinforced concrete beam In this course, You will learn about: 1. Modeling vertical and horizontal steps, concrete layers, and concrete elements in RAPT. 2. Different tools in RAPT to model special design conditions along with the specific code requirements. 3. Define spans and slab/beam thicknesses as well as different support conditions such as columns, knife edges, or fixed supports 4. Define beam’s dimensions and effective width as per the requirements of the code 5. Define drop panels and drop capes and what are the differences between these two. 6. Define transverse beams and what are the differences between band and beam in RAPT. 7. Define different load cases and load combinations in RAPT and look at the requirement of the code as well as applying different line loads, pressure loads, area loads, point loads, and bending moments on the Beam. 8. Specifying reinforcement for a new and existing beam and defining the top and bottom reinforcement as well as a review of the code-specific design data and how to modify them. 9. Reviewing the results of the beam design as well as strength and serviceability check. By the end of this course, you will learn how to practically design and analyse a reinforced concrete beam in RAPT and how to use different tools in this program to model special design conditions. THIS COURSE IS BENEFICIAL FOR: • Structural engineers • Civil engineers • Graduate engineers • University students
