Why take this course?

The intent of this course is to brush up your basics on RCC Design. We will study the Vault House by Manthan Design Studio, which uses ferrocement vaults and a simple beam, column, slab design to understand their structural grid system and simultaneously learn the thumb rules to design and calculate the dimensions of their structural elements. We will also take a sneak peek into the Moving Landscapes by Gurjeet Singh Matharoo. By the end of this course, you will be able to deduce the structural plan for a simple functional G+1 house.

Course objectives

Just like the skeleton is the structural system of our body, where we understand which part takes up the load when we stand, sit, sleep or move around. People come in all shapes and sizes, yet the basic load transfer through our limbs and joints is the same. Similarly the skeleton of RCC buildings is their framework- Roof, slabs, beams, columns, foundation.
