Summary

euroCADcrete is an interactive design exercise in structural engineering with reinforced concrete. The level of this exercise aims to reflect the abilities a student should have at the end of a bachelor course in civil or structural engineering. The exercise addresses the design process, the structural integrity of the design and the economy. As an interactive Computer Aided Learning tool, euroCADcrete can be used as courseware on an institute network and individually at home. It will be a sufficient self-explaining program using tutors on several levels, to guarantee a minimum of staff attendance and a maximum of learning effect.

Students in Civil engineering should not only have theoretical knowledge, they also need practice in designing and detailing components of concrete structures to enhance their work experience. To reduce costs and time of university education staff, EuroCADcrete is especially designed to fulfill these goals; therefore it has been part of the curriculum for the education of civil engineers at the Delft University of Technology for the last three years. This year a consortium with Universities from Glasgow, Rome, Torino, Munich, Vilnius as well as ECSN (European Concrete Society Network) with financial funding by the Leonardo da Vincy programme started a further development an dissemination of euroCADcrete.
