Synopsis

This course is intended to give the basic knowledge in reinforced concrete design to Eurocode 2 (EC2). The main part of the course will focus on the contents of EC2 and design basis for bending, shear, serviceability limit states, and durability and detailing requirements. Design steps for basic structural elements such as beam, slab, column, foundation and stair will be discussed.

Course objectives/learning outcomes:

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
• Describe the contents and structure of EC2.
• Identify the design basis and design criteria of EC2.
• Perform basic calculations for ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state based on EC2.
• Design reinforced concrete elements using EC2.


Who should attend?

This short course is intended for young practicing civil engineers working in public agencies or private sector, postgraduate students, academicians and consultants who wish to upgrade their knowledge in reinforced concrete design.


Speaker’ Profile

ASSOC. PROF. DR. FATIMAH DE’NAN

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fatimah De’nan, graduated with a Diploma in Civil Engineering (UTM) 1997, B.Tech & Edu. (Civil Eng) (UTM) 2000, MSc (Structural Engineering) (USM) 2002 and PhD (UTM) 2008.

She is a Lecturer at the School of Civil Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia since 2008. Before joining the USM, she worked for consultant firm and had significant exposure to several field and design works.  While being at the USM, she continues providing consultancy services especially in steel structures design and testing to the industries.

Since 2011, she was appointed as a member of an academic panel (Engineering Division) for the Matriculation Programme, Ministry of Education, Malaysia.  She had also successfully supervised 26 Final Year Projects, 9 MSc. At present there are 2 PhD and 3 MSc students still being supervised.  

She is active in publishing papers for International Journals, Conferences and Seminars, and reviewing papers for International Journals and Conferences.  Dr Fatimah actively involves in professional organizations such as Education Committee Member of Malaysian Structural Steel Association (MSSA), Member of Concrete Society of Malaysia (CSM), and Committee Member of Experimental Society of Malaysia. She received 4 International awards for her research products in 2011, 2012 and 2016. In National level, she had received 9 awards since 2012 until present for Open Ideas Steel competition by Malaysian structural Steel Association (MSSA). Other than that, she also actively involved in community service and had received excellence achievement (one award for national level and 4 awards for university level) in community service in 2015 and 2016 from USM. She also has a copyright for her steel product, patent pending and several copyright ready to publish.
