Introduction

Modern concrete structures can have large spans and predicting their deflections at the serviceability limit state may be complex, due to numerous time-related material and environmental factors.

This course provides guidance on the use of the simplified and rigorous approach methods to calculate deflections of slabs and beams, backed up by worked examples to Eurocode 2 and BS8110.

Course Content

• the behaviour of concrete slabs and beams at serviceability limit state
• the influence of construction loadings on Deflections
• calculating deflections using TCC how-to-guide and TR58

Speaker/s

• DR ROBERT VOLLUM, BA, MSc, PhD, DIC, CEng, MIStructE, is a senior lecturer at Imperial College where he currently teaches reinforced concrete design to undergraduate and postgraduate students, MSc design projects and dissertations, PhD students, and research.

Robert’s research interests are concerned with the prediction of long-term deflections in flat slabs, the design of reinforced concrete beam-column joints, strut and tie modelling, punching shear and soil structure interaction.

Dr Vollum is a member of BSI Committee 525/2 which is responsible for BS8110 and Eurocode 2.
