πŸ—οΈ Course Description​

Are you ready to master structural reinforcement detailing in Revit through a complete, real-world residential project?

This course, "Structural Reinforcement Detailing of a Family Home in Revit", takes you step by step through the process of creating reinforcement details for all major reinforced concrete (RC) members of a building, giving you the skills and confidence to apply Revit in real engineering projects.

Using a single-family home project as our case study, you'll gain hands-on experience in detailing every critical structural element, including:

  • Beams – learn how to model and place longitudinal bars, stirrups, and anchorage with precision
  • Slabs – detail slab reinforcement with top and bottom bars, distribution steel, and openings
  • Columns – reinforce columns with vertical bars, ties, and confinement reinforcement
  • Foundations – design and detail footings with proper reinforcement layouts for strength and stability
  • Staircases – model and detail stair reinforcement, including landing bars and inclined members

Throughout the course, you'll not only learn how to use Revit's reinforcement tools effectively, but also understand the logic behind reinforcement placement β€” bridging the gap between software skills and structural engineering knowledge.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Create reinforcement details for an entire residential building project in Revit
  • Generate accurate schedules, drawings, and annotations directly from your model
  • Apply real-world reinforcement standards to beams, slabs, columns, foundations, and staircases
  • Build confidence in using Revit for professional structural detailing projects

Whether you are a civil/structural engineering student, a structural engineer, or a BIM technician looking to sharpen your skills, this course is designed to take you from basic knowledge to applied, project-based expertise.

Join today and take the next step toward becoming a professional in structural reinforcement detailing with Revit Structure.
