Building upon our foundational webinar, this session will dive deeper into the critical components of transfer slab design, highlighting the challenges and solutions related to shear assessment. We will address the limitations of traditional methods, pivot towards advanced techniques, and discuss the implications of the new Eurocode 2.23 standards.
Our industry experts will provide actionable insights into optimising column offsets, applying rigorous methodologies, and executing precise detailing to achieve structural integrity. The webinar covers:
- Column offsets: analyse their influence on shear assessments to optimise design.
- Navigate the latest advancements in transfer slab design for enhanced methodologies and practices.
- Detailing for integrity: strategies to avoid common pitfalls for more robust designs.
- Understand the new approach to shear design.
- Identify which shear assessment method to adopt.
- Carry out shear design of a transfer slab.
- Those involved in design, checking and construction of concrete buildings with transfer slabs.
- Practicing and chartered engineers.

Professor of Structural Concrete, Imperial College
Robert began his career as a structural engineer with Arup Associates before completing an MSc in Structural Steel Design at Imperial College in 1986-87. He worked at Ove Arup and Partners before returning to Imperial in 1991 as a lecturer, later earning a PhD on reinforced concrete beam column joints. Promoted to professor in 2020, his research spans reinforced concrete design, shear, and reinforcement detailing, with notable contributions to Eurocode 2. His recent work includes numerical modeling of punching shear failure in flat slabs.
