This course presents a comparative review of major international concrete design codes and standards, including ACI 318, Eurocode 2, Brazilian NBR 6118, and the Korean Design Standard (KDS). Through practical examples involving beams, slabs, columns, shear design, and complete building systems, participants will explore similarities and differences in design philosophy, load factors, detailing requirements, stability approaches, and reinforcement provisions. The course also discusses the evolution of fiber-reinforced concrete applications and highlights the importance of international collaboration in advancing structural concrete design practices worldwide.
