Course Overview

RCDC (Reinforced Concrete Design and Detailing) is a powerful software for automated design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures. This course will teach you how to efficiently use RCDC in conjunction with ETABS and STAAD.Pro for comprehensive structural design workflows.
