Education @ Your Desk. A Live Webinar Class means that you will attend the class via the web using your computer. There are scheduled breaks for coffee and lunch. You use a microphone, headset, or your phone and are able to interact with the instructor and other students while following notes while watching the presentation slides online just as you would in a live classroom. Notes are posted online. For an extra cost a hard copy can be requested.
The virtual classroom is becoming more and more popular, and we have a lot of experience teaching in this format. The only real difference between a live in-class and live via webinar is where you sit and what you look at. You can learn from the comfort of your own home or office. You pay less for the live webinar format than you would for the in-class format, and you do not have to travel to another city to attend the class. Please contact us at [email protected] for Special Group & Corporate Rates for one or more participants.

Daily Schedule: 12:00pm MST - Session begins 3:00pm MST - Adjournment This course is divided into four sessions. Each session will be 3 hours in duration. The sessions will be held on April 15, 16, 22 & 23. If you are unable to attend any of the sessions a recording will be made available.
Description
This course is a practical structural design course that contains step-by-step procedures that include instructions that help understand and design for slab on ground. This course presents information on the design of slabs-on-ground, primarily industrial floors. The course addresses the planning, design, and detailing of slabs. Background information on design theories is followed by discussion of the types of slabs, soil-support systems, loadings, and jointing. Design methods are given for unreinforced concrete, reinforced concrete, shrinkage-compensating concrete, post-tensioned concrete and fiberreinforced concrete slabs-on-ground, followed by information on shrinkage and curling problems. Advantages and disadvantages of each of these slab designs are provided, including the ability of some slab designs to minimize cracking and curling more than others. Several design methodology will be introduced including the ACI design methodology. Examples using several design methods are also provided.

Objectives:
This course will provide the participants with an understanding of the subgrade drag theory and how it relates to the reinforcing of slab-on-grades as required to help control shrinkage cracking. Two other alternate design methods are also discussed relative to the sizing of "distribution" slab-on-grade reinforcement. Different types of reinforcing materials are also discussed including welded wire fabric, conventional deformed reinforcing bars and post-tensioning tendons.
Target Audience
-
Structural site Engineers and even design Engineers needing to refresh their design skills according to the new building code and design standards
-
Structural contractors wanting to know how the structures they erect are designed
-
Structural draftsmen wanting to know how the structures they draw are designed
-
Architects and non-structural engineers such as Mechanical, Electrical and Plant Engineers interested in upgrading their knowledge and skills in the area of structural design

Learning Outcomes
This course will introduce you to the current codes and standards that govern structural design of slab on ground, including the structural provisions of the ACI . You will also learn:
- Basic understanding of codes and design methods.
- This course will enable the user to become familiar with the following methods of designing slab-on-ground:
- PCA method
- Slab thickness design by WRI method
- COE charts
- Equivalent tensile stress design
- Shrinkage-compensating concrete using post-tensioning to minimize cracking
