Course Overview

Deflection Calculation of Concrete Floors is designed to equip structural engineers and construction professionals with the knowledge and skills to evaluate and control deflections in reinforced concrete buildings. Excessive deflections can compromise serviceability, aesthetics, and long-term performance, even when safety against collapse is ensured. This course explores the fundamental material parameters—modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, creep, and shrinkage—that influence deflection behavior. Participants will gain practical insights into design strategies, calculation methods, and serviceability considerations to ensure durable and efficient concrete floor systems.

Learning Objectives

Understand the importance of deflection control in concrete structures
Identify material parameters influencing deflection such as elasticity, rupture, creep, and shrinkage
Apply serviceability criteria in structural design to prevent excessive deflections
Perform deflection calculations for reinforced concrete floors under service loads
Evaluate the impact of long-term effects like creep and shrinkage on structural performance
Develop strategies to mitigate adverse effects of deflections in building design
