Design & Detailing of RCC Structures Using ACI Codes (Manual + ETABS + CSI SAFE + Live Projects)
A complete, from-scratch RCC structural design and detailing course as per ACI 318-25 & ASCE 7-22 — build strong engineering judgment through manual design, then apply it hands-on in ETABS and CSI SAFE.
Three Ways to Learn RCC Design & Detailing

View Combined Curriculum →RCC Design Course: From Analysis to Drawing, ACI 318-25
This course is built for engineers who want to learn RCC structural design and detailing from the ground up using US/international codes — starting with load calculation and modeling in ETABS and CSI SAFE, moving through ACI 318-25-based design of every major RCC element, and finishing with real drawing development on an actual project.
RCC Structural Design Course Curriculum (ACI 318-25)
A complete, sequential RCC design and detailing curriculum — from structural systems and load calculation to ACI 318-25-based design, ETABS/CSI SAFE modeling, and final drawing development for every RCC element in a typical building. Tap a module to expand it.

Built the Way Design Offices Actually Work
Project-Based Teaching
Every concept is tied back to one real, complete RCC project — not isolated textbook examples.
Whiteboard + Screen-Share
A blend of concept explanation on the board and hands-on modeling directly in ETABS/SAFE.
Learn at Your Own Pace
Revisit any session as many times as you need, at your own pace.
Office-Ready Skills
Finish with the same design-to-drawing workflow used on live structural consulting projects.
For Engineers Who Want to Design, Not Just Analyse
Whether you're starting out or already working, this course closes the gap between running an analysis model and actually producing a design and drawing that can be built.
- Engineers targeting jobs in the US, Gulf & other ACI/ASCE-code markets
- Working professionals used to IS codes who want ACI 318-25 skills
- Students pursuing higher education or certification in international structural design
- Professionals aiming to work on international consulting projects
