Transfer slabs offer flexibility to designers, enabling a change in column grid above and below the slab to suit different layouts and uses. Although they are a popular solution, transfer slabs require careful design and recent guidance from the IStructE fills a previous knowledge gap and aims to promote best and safe practice. In this webinar a case study will be shared to show what to consider when adopting a transfer slab and how to approach the concept design, including initial sizing. Finite element (FE) modelling is often used for reinforced concrete design and this webinar will provide guidance on how to model structures with transfer slabs appropriately in FE software.
Understand the key considerations when adopting transfer slabs.
Carry out initial sizing of a transfer slab.
Use finite element modelling in the design of a structures with transfer slabs.
Those involved in design, checking and construction of concrete buildings with transfer slabs
Practicing and chartered engineers
This webinar is part of a series. The second webinar "Transfer slabs: focus on punching shear design" will take place Tuesday 19 November.
Matt is a Principal Engineer working in AECOM’s South East Structures team and a chartered member of the Institution. Matt’s career has focussed predominantly on the forensic assessment of existing reinforced concrete buildings and he is a member of AECOM’s reinforced concrete ‘Subject Matter Expert’ group. In this role, he is responsible for developing technical guidance specifically tailored to the analysis of existing RC frames. He also has experience in the conservation, restoration, and transformation of historic buildings. He has been fortunate enough to work on the refurbishment of some of the UK’s most iconic Grade 1 listed buildings, including Norman Shaw North (the original Scotland Yard police headquarters) and the Elizabeth Tower (better known as Big Ben).
Emily is a chartered structural and civil engineer with over 10 years’ experience within the construction industry. Her role includes sharing best practice for the design of concrete buildings, providing technical guidance to designers and specifiers and contributing to the development of codes and standards. Emily is also a chartered environmentalist and with a focus on promoting material efficient and sustainable concrete designs. Prior to joining The Concrete Centre, she worked on a wide range of challenging engineering schemes, including stations, stadia and commercial buildings.

A second transfer slabs webinar on 19 Novemberfocusses on punching shear design.
This course covers the design of common structural elements to Eurocode 2. Participants will be introduced to concrete material properties and learn about designing for durability and fire.
This one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
This half-day online course introduces simple structural concepts that will enable structural engineers to design more effective, efficient and elegant structures.
This two-day, in-person course provides participants with an understanding of the basic principles of temporary works design.
This course takes place as a series of two-hour interactive sessions over three weeks. It introduces EN 1991-1-4 for determining wind actions on structures, outlines the basic principles behind the code and covers each step of the procedure for calculating the wind loads on structures. Attention is given to important features introduced by the UK NA.
This interactive online course will share current state-of-the-art frameworks for the adoption of resilience-based design in professional practice, demonstrating advantages compared to a traditional prescriptive design and providing examples of how they benefit the client.
This course provides an introduction to structural steelwork design to Eurocode 3 for building design.
This course establishes good practice in the design of reinforced concrete structures. Through practical exercises, it will cover concept, design, flat slabs and finite element analysis.
This one-day, online advanced practical workshop will teach complex timber engineering through worked examples. It encourages problem-solving through teaching tools and group discussion.
