Course overview

Protostructure is an integrated structural analysis, design, and detailing software used for designing reinforced concrete and steel buildings. It allows you to model a complete 3D building, analyse structural behaviour, design members according to codes and automatically generate reinforcement detailing and drawings. CADS RC is a structural detailing software specifically developed for reinforced concrete detailing. It is widely used in the UK and other countries that follow British Standards and Eurocodes. CADS RC focuses mainly on reinforcement detailing, automated detailing and generating Bar Bending Schedules (BBS).

This course is designed to equip students with the knowledge and practical skills required to confidently design reinforced concrete buildings, including residential, commercial, and industrial structures.

By the end of the course, students will be able to carry out complete structural design and detailing of reinforced concrete buildings in accordance with relevant design codes.

The course is delivered through a comprehensive practical project involving the structural analysis, design, and detailing of a three-storey building (two suspended floors). Students are guided step-by-step through: Structural modelling, Load assessment and analysis Design of slabs, beams, columns, and foundations, reinforcement detailing and Preparation of structural drawings.

The focus is on combining manual design principles with software-based application to ensure proper understanding of structural behaviour and not just software operation.
