Happy Saturday,

Module #3 took me almost an entire year to write, fine-tune and publish.

Now, I am very excited to finally share it with you in 4 days: Wednesday 29th of July: 3 pm CET

​

In today's e-mail, I want to share with you what Module #3 includes and what it'll teach if you decide to get a copy.

If you prefer video, I also created a short introduction video which you can watch here.

​

So what is Module #3 about?

In short:

You'll learn how to design and verify reinforced concrete slabs, masonry walls and rc walls according to Eurocode. The e-book shows you how to apply loads to slabs, model rc slabs in a finite element software, verify the slab for bending, shear and deflection and how to create reinforcement sketches from these calculations. It teaches you load tranfer, masonry and rc wall design for horizontal and vertical loads and how to stabilize a building with diaphragm and shear walls.

I tried to keep module #3 as short as possible. But there is so much practical knowledge in the e-book that it ended up being 166 pages long.

Now let's go a bit more into detail.

1.Calculation and Application of Loads

Learn how to calculate loads of internal walls and apply the characteristic area and line loads to slabs and walls.

2. Vertical Load Tranfer

In this section, you'll learn how load travel through the structural elements from slabs to walls and into the ground. Documenting the vertical load transfer is something not many structural engineers do, but it's super helpful as you can always quickly look up the loads on each wall.

3. Material & Geometrical Properties

The most common materials and dimensions for residential buildings are used. This makes the e-book applicable to most countries with Eurocode.

4. FE Modeling of the RC Slabs

Learn how to:

• model reinforced concrete slabs correctly
• apply loads
• define plate elements
• mesh
• calculate internal forces
• and much more

5. Reinforced Concrete Design Verifications

The slabs are verified according to EC2 for:

• Cracking
• Bending
• Shear
• Deflection
• Fire

I'll also show you how to handle singularities and how you can distribute the internal forces from the FE model.

6. Reinforcement Sketches

The e-book shows how to create reinforcement sketches from calculation results. A skill you don't learn in uni.

7. Reinforced Concrete Wall Design

You'll learn how to verify rc walls for horizontal loads such as imperfections, wind loads and earth pressure, but also vertical loads.

8. Masonry Wall Design

• Masonry wall design for vertical and horizontal loads
• Fire verification of masonry walls

9. Stability Analysis

Understand how horizontal loads travel through diaphragms to shear walls into the ground. You'll learn how to:

• define and apply horizontal loads
• verify rc diaphragms
• verify shear walls

I am a visual learner, that's why I included soooo many 3D images with descriptions.

Like for module #1 and module #2 -

In the first 3 days of the launch, you'll get the e-book for 35% off.

I am proud of this work, and I am super excited to finally share it with you!

See you on Wednesday, 3 pm CET!

Let's design better structures,
