The Introduction to S-CONCRETE training course is aimed at new users of S-CONCRETE, or experienced users looking to sharpen their skills. This introductory class explains the interface for concrete section design, and continuous beam design modules in S-CONCRETE. Over the course of the lecture, attendees will be guided through how to navigate the interface, define loads, adjust section details and reinforcement, and perform Design Code Checks. This course will serve as good foundation to running Concrete Design for reinforced concrete sections (beams, columns, and walls) and continuous beams.
