  • RCC & Steel Structure Design – Analysis, Detailing & Software Applications

Introduction

This course provides an in-depth understanding of both Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) and Steel Structure Design, blending theoretical principles with practical design methodologies. It covers structural load analysis, design of elements as per IS codes, and hands-on training with tools like STAAD Pro and AutoCAD. It is ideal for careers in civil design, structural consultancy, EPC projects, and construction firms.

Modules and Content

Module 1: Fundamentals of RCC & Steel Structures
  • Comparison of RCC and steel structures
  • Properties of materials: concrete, reinforcement steel, structural steel
  • Overview of design codes (IS 456, IS 800, IS 875)
  • Dead load, live load, wind and seismic loads
  • Load combinations as per IS 875 & IS 1893
  • Load transfer mechanisms in RCC and steel systems
  • Design of beams (singly & doubly reinforced)
  • One-way and two-way slab design
  • Column and footing design (isolated, combined)
  • Tension and compression members
  • Steel beams and plate girders
  • Bolted and welded connections
  • Types: isolated, combined, raft, and pile
  • Load-bearing analysis
  • Detailing and reinforcement layout
  • Seismic zone classification and base shear
  • Wind loading as per IS 875 (Part 3)
  • Ductile detailing and lateral load-resisting systems
  • RCC and steel model generation
  • Load application and structural behavior
  • Design output, error checking, and report interpretation
  • RCC detailing in AutoCAD
  • Bar bending schedules (BBS)
  • Steel connection drawings and BOM preparation
  • Design of industrial sheds, portal frames, and trusses
  • Gantry girder design
  • Steel staircases and platforms
  • Full design and documentation of RCC and steel structure
  • Preparation of design calculation sheets and drawings
  • BOQ and client-ready submission

Scope & Advantages

As infrastructure and industrial projects continue to rise, expertise in both RCC and steel structure design is critical for civil and structural engineers. This course enables participants to confidently work on residential, commercial, and industrial projects, handle client-based design requirements, and contribute to safety-compliant and cost-efficient structural solutions. Job roles include design engineer, structural consultant, site engineer, and BIM modeler.
