Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, knowledge and skills required to prepare an advanced engineering design for a reinforced concrete structure.
It requires the ability to analyse and design complex flexural reinforced concrete members from first principles, using appropriate design aids.
The unit of competency applies to a person working at paraprofessional level in a civil engineering environment where the 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) and environmental requirements for a given work area are determined and followed
- 1.3 Safety hazards which have not previously been identified are documented and risk control measures devised and implemented in consultation with appropriate personnel
- 1.4 Design requirements are identified from documentation, work requests or discussions with appropriate personnel
- 1.5 Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure the work is co-ordinated effectively with others involved at the workplace
- 1.6 Resources and equipment needed for the task are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
Plan design approach
- 2.1 Documentation relating to design project is collected and analysed
- 2.2 Appropriate engineering design calculations are performed to meet the requirements of the structure
Complete the design
- 3.1 Using relevant Australian standards and references the design of the reinforced concrete structure is developed to meet the requirements of the work brief
- 3.2 Design references and equipment are used, according to relevant standards, manufacturer’s manuals and 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
