Description
This unit of competency describes the performance outcomes, knowledge and skills required to produce a design for a flexural reinforced concrete structure consistent with requirements of a project brief.

It required the ability to apply relevant design principles and aids to develop flexural reinforced concrete structures such as suspended slabs, beams, columns and footings.

The unit applies to a person working at paraprofessional level in a civil engineering environment where design of reinforced concrete structures is undertaken.

No licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of accreditation.

Elements and Performance Criteria
Identify reinforced concrete structure to be designed
  • 1.1 Occupational health and safety/workplace health and safety (OHS/WHS) requirements and environmental requirements for a given work area are determined and followed
  • 1.2 Safety hazards which have not previously been identified are documented and risk control measures devised and implemented in consultation with appropriate personnel
  • 1.3 Design requirements for the reinforced concrete structure are identified from the design brief
  • 1.4 Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure the work is co-ordinated effectively with others involved at the workplace
  • 1.5 Resources and equipment needed for the design are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures
Plan design approach
  • 2.1 Documentation relating to design project is collected and analysed
  • 2.2 Design brief is reviewed and discuss with relevant personnel
  • 2.3 Design references are reviewed to plan the design, so it will conform to relevant Australian standards and design principles
Complete the design
  • 3.1 Design references and equipment are used according to relevant Australian standards, manufacturer’s manuals and workplace procedures
  • 3.2 The design is completed to conform to relevant Australian and/or local standards or regulations, in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.3 Decisions for dealing with unexpected situations are made from discussions with appropriate personnel, job specifications and workplace procedures
  • 3.4 Design is reviewed with appropriate personnel and amended as required to provide the optimum structure
Present and store final design
  • 4.1 Final design of the reinforced concrete structure is presented to appropriate personnel in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 4.2 Results are stored and archived according to workplace procedures
