This presentation provides an overview of reinforced concrete design for flexure, both with and without axial force. It covers the fundamental principles governing flexural behavior, including […]

A very simple introduction to Concrete Rheology explaining concrete as a Bingham material. Common tests done on fresh concrete such as the slump test are often […]

Efficient structures emerge when conceptual form and force are considered together. This webinar introduces graphic statics as a practical tool for visualising and designing with forces. […]

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are typically used to replace between 6% and 65% of Portland cement (PC) to produce blended or composite cements. SCMs are often […]

This presentation gives an overview of how reliability shapes structural concrete design in a South African context. It introduces reliability as a framework for achieving structural […]

This class will explore Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR)—a chemical process that can lead to the deterioration of concrete. ASR occurs when “reactive” silica in certain aggregates reacts […]

Aggregates occupy the largest volume in typical concrete mixes. Despite this, they are often viewed as inert filler materials, provided for bulk and to reduce the […]

This class will cover relevant deterioration mechanisms for concrete structures, such as ingress of deleterious substances, reinforcement corrosion, chemical attack, ASR and shrinkage cracking. Guidelines for […]
